binger: Thank u my sister,this is enlightening.I am not a Spiritual Scholar, but from the much I know. You can be said to treat sin with levity if you intentionally do things that you know are wrong, saying "afterall, I'll ask for forgiveness and God will forgive me" The issue is not whether you will be forgiven or not but How does those evil acts affect your life and future. Just focus on doing good which is best shown through Love. For instance, someone may be having premarital sex and always pray for forgiveness and yet continues to do it. Question is: how does that act affect you life? When you have sex you will be living in fear of disease and getting pregnant, but what of the relief you have when you are not doing it? No fear, no guilt, good quality of life! |

holyvirgin: @op, its good you chose to go on food fasting,I remember when I was younger, my sister used to be a fashion freak and can't go without makeups, so when lent came she chose to focus on God and halt at makeups.You are right my friend. Fasting means depriving your body of needs and building up your inner man which is the Spirit. I really don't live in so much luxury and I rarely care for the things in life. I choose to Live for today only. All is Vanity. |

binger: What they is the purpose of forgiveness if u don't go unpunished?penance is the punishment one undergoes to show remorse or penitence for a sin.. |
Re: Lent: Countdown To 40 Days Fasting. by jamp: 5:20pm On Feb 17, 2013 |
Whatever u practiced this lenten period should be carried over beyound lent. Lent is there to assist us in changing our lives for better. Eg if u take 3 bottles of star every week and cos of lent u reduced it to 1 bottle, after lent it it expected u continue wit that one bottle instead of going back to 3 bottles. May God help Amen 2 Likes |

binger: So,the belief is that if you say 'Our Father' many times,u're being remorsful and undergoing pain(punishment)?no, penance is not always about praying the rosary, it depends on the priest you are confessing to and the sins you've committed. It can range from praying the rosary to doing good to someone or even apologizing to the person you offended. |
