Lent is a time for a thoughtful retreat as Christians gather in prayer and meditation to prepare the spirit for the reception of Jesus Christ alive and risen on Easter Sunday. Thus, taking spiritual matters, symbolically the Christian is being reborn, like Christ. This meditation can be done daily at work, at home, in your church or at a specific retreat. Learn one Lenten Prayer do during this period of reflection.
The liturgical color of this era is purple, which generally means penance, anguish and growth. But at the time of Lent, color does not mean mourning, but it shows that the church is preparing spiritually for the great feast of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It is time to renew ourselves, change our mental state from negative to positive, kill what is not good within us, what demotivates us, and give birth to a new self, purer and cleaner in attitudes. Say the borrowed prayer and achieve your goals.
St. Ephrem the Syrian tried to convey this in his prayers.

Prayer powerful Lent
«Lord and lord of my life,
take away from me the spirit of laziness
reduction, domination, loquacity,
and grant your servant a spirit of integrity,
of humility, patience and love.
Yes sir and king
grant me to see my sins and not judge my brothers
Because you are blessed forever and ever. Amen.
But remember, it's no use just asking. One must also act and perform his own part in the whole story. While meditating, follow another prayer to reassure the heart.
Prayer Lent for Mercy
"Our father,
who are in heaven
during this time
of regret
Have mercy on us.
With our prayer
our fast
and our good works
turn
our selfishness
in generosity
Open our hearts
at your word
Heal our wounds of sin,
Help us to do good in this world.
Let's transform the darkness
and pain in life and joy.
Grant us these things
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen "
Lent is a time to reflect, to make a spiritual retreat. We meet in meditation, prayer, and penance. The most common penance is fasting, but many people think that fasting is a great sacrifice because they do not understand that the Church is something simple. It is not starving, but discipline, such as eating breakfast and replacing a full meal, lunch or dinner with a lighter snack, and not "pinching" anything between meals. If fasting still seems too complicated, try saying a Lenten prayer every day and take time to think about your actions. Real change happens from the inside out!
