Matthew 9: 14-15
14Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 15And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
What touched my Soul
Fasting is a traditional form of penitence. The church invite us to have a special time of sobriety in all things that we tend to have in excess in our lives. For me this sobriety is not limited only to food. We should include in fasting all the things we dedicate large amount of time or effort and sometimes bring little Christian value to our lifes. We should look at those and fast - reduce it, remove it, Things like the time we spend on social media, looking at our phones, or watching TV, or playing games. The Lent fasting invite us to stop this things that arent bringing any spiritual value and dedicate that time to our families, to do some charity work, or even to support our church.
Brothers and Sisters, think about this. how you could fast during Lent, and go for it.
Thank the Lord all the beautiful thinks you have in your life and ask for guidance during this year’s Lent for you to live it the most Christian way possible. Amen!
