Okay, I am making a couple of assumptions here. I am assuming that you are talking about the Christian season of Lent. Lent in the Latin Rite is the English name for Quadragesima, the period of forty days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday afternoon that is a preparation for the Eastern Triduum and Easter. Formerly, it was the period of preparation for the baptism of catechumens and the reconciliation of penitents at the Easter Vigil. It has been this way since very early in the Church, and each day of Lent has had its own Mass since the 7th century. The season of Lent is primarily penitential, this is especially seen in the requirements for fast and abstinence, their substantial observance, of which, binds gravely." (Paenitemini, III, norm II.) Besides fast and abstienence, the whole Lenten season is to be penitential, with stress on prayer, reception of the sacraments, almsgiving, and the practice of charity. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980.
