Lent (Latin: Quadragesima: Fortieth) is a solemn religious

observance in the Christian liturgical calendar that begins

on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later, 3
days before Easter Sunday. The purpose of Lent is the
preparation of the believer for Easter through prayer,
doingpenance, mortifying the flesh, repentance of
sins, almsgiving, and self-denial.[1]This event is observed in
the Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental
Orthodox,Lutheran, Methodist,
and Catholic Churches.[2][3][4] Some Anabaptist andevangelical ch
urches also observe the Lenten season.[5][6] Its institutional
purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy
Week, marking the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus,
which recalls the tradition and events of the New
Testament beginning on Palm Sunday, further climaxing on
Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday, which ultimately culminates
in the joyful celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection
of Jesus Christ.
Stations of the Cross
Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known
as Way of Sorrowsor Via Crucis, refers to a series of images
depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and
accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations
of Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem which is believed to be the
actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The object of the
stations is to help the Christians faithful to make a
spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of
Christ. It has become one of the most popular devotions and
the stations can be found in many Western Christian churches,
including Anglican,[1] Lutheran,[2] Methodist,[3] and Roman
Catholic ones.

Three O' Clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy

______________________________________________________________
You expired, O Jesus,
but the source of life gushed forth for souls
and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world
and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fount of mercy for us,
I trust in You.

Amen.
Noun is a part of speech that identifies a person, place,
thing, or idea. In this lesson, in addition to learning how to
identify nouns, you'll learn the difference between proper and
common nouns and a bit about how nouns function in sentences.
Types:

Common noun
A common noun is a noun that refers to people or things in
general, e.g. boy, country, bridge, city, birth, day,
happiness.

Proper noun
A proper noun is a name that identifies a particularperson,
place, or thing, e.g. Steven, Africa, London, Monday. In
written English, proper nouns begin with capital letters.

Concrete noun
A concrete noun is a noun which refers to people and to things
that exist physically and can be seen, touched, smelled,
heard, or tasted. Examples include dog, building, coffee,
tree, rain, beach, tune.

Abstract noun
An abstract noun is a noun which refers to ideas, qualities,
and conditions - things that cannot be seen or touched and
things which have no physical reality, e.g.truth, danger,
happiness, time, friendship, humour.

Collective nouns
Collective nouns refer to groups of people or things,
e.g.audience, family, government, team, jury. In American
English, most collective nouns are treated as singular, with a
singular verb:
The whole family was at the table.
In British English, the preceding sentence would be correct,
but it would also be correct to treat the collective noun as a
plural, with a plural verb:
 The whole family were at the table.
For more information about this, see matching verbs to
collective nouns.
A noun may belong to more than one category. For
example, happiness is both a common noun and an abstract noun,
while Mount Everest is both a concrete noun and a proper noun.

Count and mass nouns

Nouns can be either countable or uncountable.Countable
nouns (or count nouns) are those that refer to something that
can be counted. Uncountable nouns(or mass nouns) do not
typically refer to things that can be counted and so they do
not regularly have a plural form.
Examples:

 Person – He is the person to see.

 Person – John started to run.
 Person – Plato was an influential Greek philosopher.
 Person – Sharon admires her grandfather.
 Person – My mother looks a lot like my grandmother, and I look
very much like them.
