Why must there be a strict Biblical instruction for the specific Lenten acts of penance, prayers or for almsgiving? All three sets of pius practices and spiritual exercise are themselves clearly Biblical, no?

Touche, Narses.
We’re Catholics! One great advantage is we don’t have to be neurotically, compulsively “Biblical”! We have zillions of beneficial, devout, time-tested practices and prayers that increase one’s holiness and bring grace, and have been practiced for centuries.
The internet is not “Biblical”...you sola types might want to get offline: this is probably a tool of the devil invented by Papists to ensnare you into non-Biblical practices like fasting, practicing the Works of Mercy, praying the Rosary or the Divine Mercy Chaplet and other scary, dangerous things.
