FASTING

Fasting is a great prayer practice.
Fasting gives us an opportunity to be physically empty.
We can use fasting as a spiritual exercise not only to physically empty ourselves, but also to spiritually empty our souls.
Then, once we are empty, we can fill ourselves with the goodness of God.
The Sacrament of Penance is also a great way to empty ourselves of the burdens of our sins.
Once empty we can be filled with new life in God’s grace
