If fasting...BLC<br />If you are bored don't log on!<br /><br />If fasting (or feasting) is detached from liturgy isn't the a risk of it being rendered meaningless and despiritualised.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-36101517783179630682009-10-02T21:25:32.714+01:002009-10-02T21:25:32.714+01:00Father, don't you think you are in danger of b...Father, don't you think you are in danger of becoming an extraordinary bore?<br /> Surely the clue is in the name - Family Fast Day. <br />Ember Day, oh that's a real help.brightonliberalcatholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-14400416387949857722009-10-02T20:07:06.859+01:002009-10-02T20:07:06.859+01:00Fasting is ESSENTIAL to allow the soul to master t...Fasting is ESSENTIAL to allow the soul to master the body and so progress in the spiritual life.Volpius Leoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273209983337706262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-1346973959973414992009-10-02T16:15:10.657+01:002009-10-02T16:15:10.657+01:00Fasting seems to be a dirty word nowadays.

When I was a child eating meat on Fridays was wrong, now it seems that every day is the same and fasting from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday is made to be such an issue.<br />Have we all become luke warm in everything we do?????<br />Maybe us Latin Lovers (as someone shouted in abuse at a meeting in our Church recently) should make a point of trying to fast.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121562422631804938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-6189664097706256862009-10-02T16:00:49.852+01:002009-10-02T16:00:49.852+01:00I agree it's not emphasized enough.

I didn't know it was a family fast day,but I do know we are meant to fast on Fridays.It's amazing how the will plays up when you try to follow rules. I was quite amazed at the double minded battle going on inside my head.Had it not been a fast day,I would have gone home,lunch in hand,anticipating a feed and feeling quite spiritually pleased with myself.Huh,worshiping with my words,but my stomach was far from Him,as I soon found out when I refused it,it's desires.(A sausage roll and a pineapple tart).mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962374096401238994noreply@blogger.com
