Prayer: Henri J. M. Nouwen
For now, it seems that some fasting is the best way to remind myself of the millions who are hungry and to purify my heart and mind for a decision that does not exclude them
Right on. We often think of fasting as abstaining from food rather than limiting our intake for a specific purpose. We have lost the idea of fasting as a healthy religious practice.
wonderful thoughts!. fasting is not starvation, rather fasting should fight starvation.
