Fasting!

It is not a competition or comparison with others. It is about self-restrain in order to turn to God. It is about disciplining our spirit. It is not really about the diet of food but the diet of the soul. It is attuning our habits to what pleases God. Isaiah gives us a list of those things. These are works of mercy towards the less privileged in the community. Such a fasting gives joy to the heart. Joy is the evidence of God's presence! Lent brings joy into our lives.
Jesus, I trust in you
