Lenten Reflection On Fasting, by Sister of Charity (Video)
Lenten Reflection On Fasting, by Sister of Charity (Video)
Recently the Sisters of Charity Federation posted a series of Lenten video reflections on prayer, fasting and almsgiving which are worth a second look in case you missed them. Here is an excerpt from the the talk on Fasting. Sister Rejane Cytacki, Sister of Charity of Leavenworth, generously shares some great ideas about fasting from “time-eaters”– those things that take our focus away from our prayer relationship with God. She also recommends a number of excellent books, listed below the video. Thank you to Sr. Rejane and the Federation for providing these videos!
