FASTING

“The purpose of fasting is to assist the soul in turning back to God. The benefits of fasting are innumerable, but all these benefits are secondary to the desire to embrace God more fully in our lives.” Matthew Kelly

 

Not all forms of fasting involve food. You can fast from judgment, worry or social media, to name a few. Be open to where the Holy Spirit leads you. You can fast on bread/rice and water or limit yourself to one meal. It may just be a day without coffee. Silence and prayer are the other key components to a day of fasting.

 

Together, we can make a difference.
