Why do Catholics fast during Lent? Should we fast on Sundays? What is the true purpose of fasting?
In this Lenten homily, Fr. Bill, SDB reflects on the meaning of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. He explains why fasting is a means to an end — not an end in itself — and reminds us that Sunday is always a “little Easter” in the Catholic tradition.
Drawing from the Prophet Isaiah, Fr. Bill challenges us to fast from sin first and to practice self-discipline so that we grow closer to Christ during these 40 days.
As we begin Lent, may we choose fasting for the right reason — not out of pride, but out of love for Jesus.
