Credit: Free images from acobox.comOne of the meanings of penitential fasting is to help us recover an interior life. The effort of moderation in food also extends to other things that are not necessary, and this is a great help to the spiritual life. Moderation, recollection and prayer go hand in hand. . . . This principle can be appropriately applied to the mass media. Their usefulness is indisputable, but they must not become the “masters” of our life. In how many families does television seem to replace personal conversation rather than to facilitate it! A certain “fasting” also in this area can be healthy, both for devoting more time to reflection and prayer, and for fostering human relations.
(Blessed Pope John Paul II)
My brothers sacrifices will save souls and your own, consider fasting from TV, internet, and spend more time in prayer with your family and with God.
Keep Up the Great Work,
In Christ,
Big Brother #2
