What It Means to Wear the Armor of God During Lent
Faith Is a Battle—Are You Ready?
Lent isn’t just about giving up chocolate or scrolling less on your phone. It’s about preparation. It’s about stepping into the spiritual battlefield, equipped with the Armor of God.
If you think Lent is just a season of passive sacrifice, think again.
This is the time to train. This is the time to strengthen your faith. This is the time to become a warrior.
At Roman Catholic Gear, we don’t do weak faith. We don’t sell fragile, decorative religious items. We arm spiritual warriors with the gear they need to fight the good fight.
What Is the Armor of God?
Straight from Ephesians 6:10-18, St. Paul lays it out clearly:
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."
The Armor of God isn’t metaphorical—it’s real, and it’s necessary. Every day, you’re in a battle for your soul, whether you recognize it or not. The enemy isn’t just temptation, it’s distraction, complacency, lukewarmness. And Lent? It’s your time to train like a warrior.
Here’s the gear God gives you:
- The Belt of Truth – Stand firm in God’s truth, reject the lies of the world.
- The Breastplate of Righteousness – Guard your heart against sin and compromise.
- The Gospel of Peace (Shoes) – Bring the message of Christ to others, stand firm in faith.
- The Shield of Faith – Deflect doubts, lies, and attacks from the enemy.
- The Helmet of Salvation – Keep your mind focused on Christ, not the world’s distractions.
- The Sword of the Spirit – The Word of God, your power against the enemy.
Lent: A Time to Forge Spiritual Strength
If you want to grow in faith during Lent, you need both:
- Attention – Focus your mind and heart on God. Cut out distractions.
- Where you put your attention, you put your energy. If social media, entertainment, or stress take up all your attention, where does God fit?
- Action – Faith without action is dead. Lent isn’t just about thinking holy thoughts—it’s about doing the work.
- A warrior doesn’t just study the battle—they engage.
- Pray harder. Fast with purpose. Give with sacrifice.
Equip Yourself: How to Wear the Armor of God During Lent
You wouldn’t go into a physical battle unarmed. Why would you go into Lent spiritually weak? Here’s how to activate each piece of armor:
- The Belt of Truth: Spend time in Scripture daily. Know what you believe and why.
- The Breastplate of Righteousness: Confession. Regularly. Protect your soul from spiritual attacks.
- The Gospel of Peace: Step up. Lead. Teach. Defend your faith in conversations.
- The Shield of Faith: When doubts creep in, stand firm. Pray the Rosary daily.
- The Helmet of Salvation: Stop consuming junk that weakens your faith. Read, listen, and watch content that strengthens you.
- The Sword of the Spirit: Memorize verses. Pray them. Live them.
