We hope you’ll join us at Busted Halo this year in our unique approach to Lent — the very popular Fast Pray Give Lent calendar. Lent is about more than giving up some favorite food, so we’re inviting you to take a closer look at its true meaning, and win an iPad in the process. Each day throughout Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday, the calendar’s link for that day will become active, revealing a Daily Jolt of spiritual contemplation relating to Lent, and new and practical ideas for fasting, prayer and almsgiving.

Traditionally, Lent was a time for personal conversion leading up to Easter, during which Christians practiced these spiritual disciplines to strip away all that is unnecessary and become more mindful of our ultimate dependence on God. Let’s recapture the true meaning of Lent in ways that are actually relevant to your life. Oh, and the calendar will feature daily and weekly prizes, and a grand prize Apple iPad.

Busted Halo’s® Fast Pray Give Calendar is completely unflunkable, entirely relevant and totally inspiring. The idea isn’t to be perfect but to continue on our path, so if you slip up one day, don’t give up; simply begin again the next day. And share any struggles — slips or just difficulty you’re having — at our “Slip Support Station” on Busted Halo’s Facebook page.

The contest

Each day, you will be given a clue describing the weekly prize. You can send in one guess per day. Each guess — right or wrong — enters you into random drawings for that day’s daily prize and the grand prize. Each correct guess of the weekly prize is entered into a random drawing for the weekly prize. You can enter as often as once a day (and up your chances of winning). (If none of the entries in a given week include a correct guess, the winner will be chosen from a random drawing of all that week’s entries.) (See full contest rules here.)

You can see a list of winners so far here.

You guys should open the fast calendar at 10pm the night before so we can prepare for the day.

Julie Billmeier -- March 7th, 2011 at 3:48 pm

You should make an app for this!

Pepe Flores -- March 8th, 2011 at 1:15 am

I agree! This would make an incredible Lenten App!

CJM -- March 8th, 2011 at 12:59 pm

Oh happy day, Gilda Susan Radner made the Lent Calendar! Awesome calendar.

I can’t “open the next day” :( – I can’t help it that I live in New Zealand – it’s already been ash wednesday here for 15 hours!!!

Coleen -- March 9th, 2011 at 8:50 am

I agree with Matt; is it possible to change the settings so that you can view and prepare for the next day, particularly the Fasting piece?

D -- March 9th, 2011 at 9:50 am

PLEASE consider making this an app! Hurry! :o)

Kimberly -- March 9th, 2011 at 12:38 pm

I agree with Matt and Coleen. I was really hoping to be able to print out the next day’s event the day before so that I can post it at home for the rest of my family. Can you change the way you do this? A printable version would be really nice, too. Thanks!

Is it asking to much to say I want to sign up for a daily email?

Sam -- March 22nd, 2011 at 3:54 pm

Daily emails or BB app would be huge! Please consider it!

Sam -- March 22nd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
