Ending the month of March, I share this with you:
I am not into fasting. Nevertheless, I do believe truly in these fastings. Think about them, please. This has been widely circulated on the Internet; some attribute it to Pope Francis.
Fast from hurting words – and say kind words.
Fast from sadness – and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger – and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism – and be filled with hope.
Fast from worries – and trust in God.
Fast from complaints – and contemplate simplicity.
Fast from pressure – and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness – and fill your heart with joy.
Fast from selfishness – and be compassionate.
Fast from grudges – and be reconciled.
Fast from words – be silent and listen.
