The Great Fast

“Let us begin the season of the Fast with joy...giving ourselves to spiritual deeds, cleansing our soul and body by controlling our passions as we limit our food and live out the virtues of the Spirit.”

GREAT LENT is the time when we are called to enter more deeply into the life that God created us for...the life of the spirit...It is the time to slow down our daily pace that we may be made more aware of the Life of Christ in us. We recognize the fact that we are sinners and that it is sin in ourselves - willing what is harmful to mind, body, and soul to ourselves or others - that alone stands between God and us. Because Christ is without sin, He alone can break, destroy and trample upon that barrier between God and us. And so as we begin this great and holy season we cry out...COME LORD JESUS!  More on the Great Fast...
