On wednesdays i try to fast on bread and water. On thursdays I am often up by 5AM, and not because I have anywhere to go. I usually roll over in bed see the time and realize a new day has dawned and i can break my fast. I don't run for food but make coffee. I am not tired; I am very peaceful at this time. Ironically, I'm not hungry either. I make my coffee and pray. My home is very quiet at this time. This has become a meeting timefor me with Our Lady and Our Lord. It is so very precious to me and this has become just as important to me as the fasting--the breaking of the fast. It's as if Our Lady wakes me gently and says time to get up and spend time with me. So I do. This has become such precious time for me and this thursday morning is the only morning i get up so early and without any hint of fatigue.
I'm curious how others break their fast and what they experience. The breaking of the fast seems to be just as important as the fast itself. There is no doubt that fasting has brought me closer and closer to Our Holy Mother and to Christ. Especially Thursday mornings.
God's Peace,
Andy
