Bahasa: Gereja merayakan Musim Pra-Paskah sebagai tempoh empat puluh hari bagi penyucian kerohanian, penyesalan dosa, dan pembaruan iman menjelang Triduum Paskah. Bagi mengenangkan empat puluh hari Yesus berpuasa di padang pasir, Gereja menggembleng umat beriman untuk memperkemaskan kehidupan rohani melalui tiga pilar tradisi: doa, puasa, dan amal jariah (derma).

English: The Church observes the Lenten Season as a forty-day period of spiritual purification, penance, and renewal leading to the Paschal Triduum. Recalling the forty days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, the Church invites the faithful to intensify their spiritual lives through three traditional pillars: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Throughout this season, the Church adopts a penitential character: the Gloria and Alleluia are omitted from the liturgy, and purple vestments are worn by the priest as a sign of repentance and preparation.
