As many should know, we are going into the season of Lent. Some people have asked me why do you have to fast.
I would reply that it’s self denial. Remembering that we do not live by bread alone.
St. Augustine wrote on the matter-
“Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the Spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity”
I hope that this elightens people to the light of Christ.
