Fasting for Lent – Pope Franis:

Do you want to fast this Lent?

Fast from hurting words and say kind words,

Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude,

Fast from anger and be filled with patience, Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope,

Fast from worries and trust in God,

Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity,

Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy,

Fast from pressures and be prayerful,

Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others,

Fast from grudges and be reconciled,

Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
