Why Do Catholics Give Something up for Lent?
Giving something up during Lent can take us in 1 of 2 directions. It can eliminate the desire for what we have sacrificed, making more room for God. Or, it can create a stronger desire for what we gave up so that when we return to it, we appreciate it all the more and thank God for the blessing. Either option can bring us closer to God which is the real point of Lent.
