Ramping up for Lent

His Holiness, Benedeict XVI, has a great message concerning fasting.  His message talks about the utility of fasting and provides a view of fasting going back all the way to the beginning of salvation history.

You can also Fast from something other than your favorite food or a meal for the day.  You can fast from something you enjoy, taking that time to devote to prayer and being with God.

Conundrum.  We are already a couple of days into Lent, and I don't know what to fast from.

Finally, our pastor had a great homily concerning the Holy Father's words concerning prayer, fasting, and charity.  When the podcast is up, I will post a link.  Definitely worth a listen.

Blessings to you all

Tim
