As we have spent this week of Lent reflecting on fasting, here are some thoughts to deepen your attentiveness to God, your openness to grace, and your willingness to let fasting shape both your heart and your shared life.
Reflection Questions
- Can you name a time when letting go of something familiar exposed a deeper hunger within you, whether for meaning, security, or belonging?
- Reflect on how fasting connects you to Christ’s own vulnerability and trust in God rather than to discipline or control alone.
- Given the realities of hunger, excess, and inequality in today’s world, does something in your personal habits or communal choices need to change?
