I never did observe lent in the past, and don’t today.

I like the way it is put in Matthew 6:2, 5, 17

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms,

5 And when thou prayest,

17 But thou, when thou fastest,

There are a lot of people who believe that you should do good deeds, and you should pray, but don’t believe you should fast. Jesus clearly says “when” not “if”.

I will do good deeds as often as God tells me.
I will pray as often as God tells me.
And I will fast as often as God tells me.
