Ash Wednesday reminds us, "You are dust and to dust you shall return." Genesis 3:19
Lent has begun!
"Fasting of the body is food for the soul." St. John Chrysostom
Though fasting is not easy, fasting helps us grow closer to God.
Growing closer to the Lord feeds our souls.
We need to be fed.
How are we going to feed our souls this Lent?
Open the Bible or listen to Fr. Mike Schmitz's Bible in a Year podcast.
God wants to feed us with His word.
There is more to Lent than just giving things up.
"There are a lot of things you can give to Jesus- I don't like to say, 'Give it up.' Well, you're going to take it back. But give it to Jesus for Lent." Mother Angelica
Give Jesus your heart.
Take Heart!
Wonderful reminder - thank you for this <3
