What if I told you that what you're giving up for Lent doesn’t matter? The sweets, the coffee, the social media break—it all means nothing if it isn’t transforming you.

Too many people treat Lent like a spiritual weight loss challenge or a seasonal detox for the soul, only to go back to who they were before Ash Wednesday. But Lent isn’t a game. It’s war. A battle against your comfort, attachments, laziness, and everything that keeps you from holiness.

If you’re not using this time to kill your vices, train your soul, and break free from sin, you’re wasting it.

And the devil loves when you waste Lent.

The Church gives us prayer, fasting, and almsgiving not as rituals, but as weapons - weapons to put to death the old self and follow Christ to the cross. That’s what mortification is. And if that word makes you uncomfortable, good. Because that means we’re finally getting to the heart of what Lent is supposed to be.

In this video, we’re breaking it all down:
🔥 What true mortification is—and why most people get it wrong
🔥 Why just giving something up isn’t enough
🔥 How mortification should bring you closer to Christ—not just for Lent, but for life
🔥 The practical ways to practice real mortification, starting today

If you truly understood what Lent is meant to do in your soul, you’d stop playing around. You’d stop making excuses. And you’d start letting God transform you. So are you in, or not?
