How to Fast

Fast from judging others; feast on Christ dwelling within them.
Fast from discontent; feast on gratitude.
Fast from anger; feast on patience.
Fast from pessimism; feast on optimism.
Fast from complaining; feast on appreciation.
fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness.
Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion for others.
Fast from discouragement; feast on hope.
Fast from idle gossip; feast on purposeful silence.

Gentle God,
during this season of fasting and feasting,
gift us with your presence,
so that we can be gift to others
in carrying out your work.
Amen.
