This document discusses alternative ways of fasting beyond just food or activities. It suggests fasting from negative emotions and behaviors like anger, judging others, discouragement, complaining, resentment and overspending. Instead, it encourages fasting from these things and replacing them with love, forgiveness, gratitude and giving to the poor. The overall message is that there are creative ways to welcome Jesus' healing beyond traditional fasts.
2. Fasts have a tendency
to be oriented toward
things like giving up
food
or television. But there
are many other
creative ways we can
welcome
Jesus' healing touch.
Here are suggestions
you may want to
consider.
3. 1. Fast from
anger and hatred.
Give your family
an extra dose of
love
each day.
4. 2. Fast from judging
others.
Before making any
judgments, recall how
Jesus overlooks our
faults.
6. 4. Fast from complaining.
When you find yourself
about to complain,
close your eyes and recall
some of the little moments
of joy Jesus has
given you.
8. 6. Fast from spending too
much money.
Try to reduce your spending
by ten percent
and give those savings to the
poor.
9. Please forward this to as
many as possible and
surely, you will be blessed
abundantly.
Wishing you all Peace,
Love and Joy in the
Holy Spirit.
SMILE C Jesus Loves You!
