The following post was written by Jack E. Garno from AOH Music Collective, which has partnered with Tabella to offer beautiful praise and worship music to accompany you throughout your Lenten journey.

Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, the established trinity of Lenten observational practices, are expected of each good Christian to give glory to God Almighty. The AOH Music Praise & Worship playlist offers hope and inspiration for the season of Lent.

Prayer is our primary mode of communication with the One Who holds us in being. St. Augustine of Hippo once said, “He who sings prays twice.”

Fasting requires us to deny our own will, creating an opening in our souls for the Spirit of God to fill us with His grace.

Almsgiving requires that we sacrifice some of our worldly treasure in order to combat materialism.

So let us enter the desert of Lent with saintly confidence, and consider music’s capacity to strengthen our pious Lenten efforts.
