Today we speak about “fasting”. And what is it about? To eat and drink less of what I would like to. And, why is that? To offer God a little self-denial, a little sacrifice. In this way we, have our little ascent to the Cross of Jesus too. Further, do not forget: “the happier your belly the more asleep your soul”.
-The best fasting is “the fasting of my will”: that is to say, to stop being whimsical, to obey when I am asked to do something, to listen to others, to give up some of my plans so as to adapt to the preference of others…
