A New Perspective on Fasting

Let us fast from judging others and feast on the Christ that dwells in them.

Let us fast from anger and feast on patience.

Let us fast from resentment and feast on forgiveness and healing.

Let us fast from discouragement and feat on hope.

Let us fast from lies and feast on God’s truth.

Let us fast from wasting time and feast on the holiness of work.

Let us fast from gossip and feast on holy silence.

Let us fast from shame and fest on the mercy of God.

Let us fast from prejudice and feast on our kinship in Christ.

Let us fast from selfishness and feast on generosity.

Let us fast from worry and feast on the story of God’s care.

Let us fast from gloom and feast on the beauty that surrounds us.

Let us fast from busyness and feast on cherishing the presence of every moment.
