March 7, 2025: Friday after Ash Wednesday Seek good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord will be with you. Fasting is about Love and Repentance Gospel | Matthew 9:14-15 🙏 "Dear Jesus, grant me the wisdom to know that fasting is not about the law but about love. I may have fulfilled the law of fasting but my heart is still held captive by avarice and pride. Such kind of fasting fulfills the law but fails miserably in love. Give me the strength to fast when appropriate, not as a mere ritual, but as an act of repentance and devotion, drawing me closer to you. Help me to recognize the times when fasting and feasting are the most appropriate responses to your love and grace. Amen. " Saints Perpetua and Felicity, martyrs, pray for us
