This is the time when we try to make a sacrifice by either giving up something we really like doing or eating, practicing more good deeds and a lot more. For me, I abstain from meat . I do this for every Fridays of Lent beginning Ash Wednesday and this goes on until Easter Sunday. Of course, temptation is out there.
