About this listen
Reflecting on the call to fasting during Lent in imitation of Old Testament penitential practices and Jesus’ own preparation for ministry in the desert, the team discusses the purpose of this common practice and some practicals to encourage you on your way. During Lent, we are called to sharpen our senses to focus our hearts and minds on God, keeping in mind that fasting strengthens our wills. That increased freedom to say “no” means our “yes” mean much more, freeing us from the worldly attachments that keep us from saying more a complete “yes” to God’s call. Some highlights from this week include some practicals on fasting with a focus on growing in charity, discussing the “should I relax my fast on Sunday?” debate, and the benefit of building holy community during this time of self-denial.
