Fasting


Bring back memories? Sometimes we would also get pork and beans!
If we are unable to gain control of our physical desires, how much harder will it be to command our Spiritual ones? During Lent, we are asked to stay strong and persevere. Doing this together,  starting small with no meat on Fridays, and surrounded with people of faith to remind us 'why', helps us all stay focused on our purpose: To love God, to serve Him and be happy with Him in heaven.

"Yet even now," declares the Lord, "Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; - Joel 2:17
