Lent is often considered as a time for giving things up. At its origin, it was a time when Jesus was tested. Equally valid to giving things up, is using Lent as a time for doing positive things that one might not otherwise do – often things that benefit others. A website, “40acts” has been set up. This gives an opportunity for 40 days of giving back, doing good and living generously.
