CBCP calls for 'digital fasting' this Lent
Tempo
|February 17, 2026
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is urging the faithful to embrace a new form of fasting this Lent by moderating their use of digital media.
In its pastoral letter titled "Fasting Beyond Food: Inviting Christ into Digital Media Use," the CBCP emphasized that Lent, which begins on Wednesday, February 19, is a time for renewal through prayer, fasting, and acts of mercy.
The letter noted that while fasting has traditionally involved abstaining from food, it can also mean stepping back from distractions that weaken one's spiritual life.
