Filipino bishops urge Catholics to practice digital fasting during Lent to deepen faith and relationships.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines is urging Catholics to observe a "digital fasting" during Lent, starting Feb. 18, 2026, as a modern form of penance.
In a pastoral letter, Archbishop Gilbert Garcera encouraged limiting social media, avoiding phones before bed and upon waking, and holding device-free meals and gatherings.
The bishops recommend occasional 24-hour or weekend digital fasts, replacing screen time with prayer, Scripture reading, and service.
The goal is to reduce distractions, deepen spiritual focus, and strengthen relationships, aligning digital habits with Lent’s themes of repentance, renewal, and love.
