40 days, isn't that just about the length of Lent???? Catholics use these little acts of penance to try, in some small way, to commerate the sacrifices that our Lord did for us...important? no, satisfying?....very

We are not here to feel good about ourselves..

Catholics use these little acts of penance

There is no such entity as "penance" in Christianity.

There is repentance; sorrow for our sins.

But the price of our sins has already been paid-in-full by Christ on the cross.

Roman Catholics struggle to earn what Christ has already achieved for His sheep.
