Fasting With a Contrite Heart
Episode 24
In Isaiah and Mark’s Gospel, we are told that fasting is relational—it is our response, our sacrifice of love for those God has placed in our lives, be they the homeless, the stranger, the oppressed, or indeed the bridegroom himself—Christ. Lent has begun, and so we must ask ourselves how we will discern and respond in this season as we, once again, take up our Lenten fasts.
