The JOY of Fasting
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 6:34 pm
Although I have not been to Medjugorje, I TRY to fast twice a week, and the effects are sometimes wonderfull. I notice that on Thursday mornings I feel flooded by inner peace that derives from having fasted the day before. It is pleasant feeling in the heart and soul. And it is better not to rush into Thursday bearkfast but let the peace linger until about 10 AM. -- But how difficult it is to fast ! harder than praying...
I think that is why some rigid catholics are so opposed to Medj, because they don't want to fast, only pray.
Also, I have to admit that on Saturdays I will sometimes "pig-out" on brunch , and then regret having over-eaten, because the Peace than came from fasting is suddenly all gone....
