Day 3: Fasting as an Invitation
The practice of fasting is an invitation to be more fully present to others—to build meaningful, authentic relationships with those around us.

“Indifference means inner freedom…It means being so passionately and single-mindedly committed, so completely in love, that we are willing to sacrifice anything, including our lives, for the ultimate goal.”
This week, we especially pray for refugees, victims of injustice and oppression, and all who may feel afraid and alone this holiday season.
