Hope all’s well.
When you give alms....when you pray...when you fast.....
That’s the gospel for today’s Mass. We always hear the gospel as well on Ash Wednesday.
About fasting. Not always easy to do. It’s good to ask God for help to do it.
Fasting helps us and teaches us to be in control of our urges and instincts. Practicing fasting helps us, enables us to be in control of our passions, our appetites, and not allow ourselves to be slaves to them.
It might be fasting from a dessert, or fasting from screen time.
Fasting helps us become more free. More free for God and others.
Hope you have a good day
Take care
