We (I!) forget sometimes just what the implications of her "Yes" was, the bringing of Jesus Christ into the world. That is a mystery that one could contemplate forever. Thanks for the food for thought. <br /><br />We all seem to fast in different ways, but I feel that if it's not uncomfortable, it (the fast) is not worth it. We've(me, my wife, you) have placed ourselves in Her hands, for Her to present us to Her Son for Him to do His will with us. Yesterday we fasted. Today we feast! We live in Gods' love one day at a time. Peace!kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248881807382198330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18415654.post-10203297269566004072010-04-21T13:18:15.045-04:002010-04-21T13:18:15.045-04:00"Heed the call to fasting because by fasting ..."Heed the call to fasting because by fasting you will <br />ensure that the total plan of God here in Medjugorje<br />will be fulfilled. This will give me great joy."<br /><br />When I read this this morning in my Day by Day I thought of you and your wife and the example that your fasting has done for me...the encouragement helps keep me strong.<br /><br />You are right when you mention the darkness in the world. As St. Louis de Montfort refers to it "the spirit of the world" as opposed to "the Spirt of Christ."<br /><br />Our Lady tells us over and over again that certian spirits can only be defeated by fasting, I believe her and so I fast too.<br /><br />Pope B16 tells us " The fiat of Mary, the word of her heart, has changed the hisorty of the world, because it brought the Savior into the world-because thanks to her YES, God could become man in our world and remains so for all time."<br /><br />Fasting is nothing most of us look forward to and when I was in Medjugorje on Wednesdays and Fridays a lot of the pilgrims had coffee with their water :) and I also saw a jar of peanut butter or two :)!<br /><br />You aren't a worm, you are a warrior, part of the "Total Plan"<br /><br />Hey, you both helped me. I had a slice of bread and a cup of herb tea today...It was you and H's positive influence that encourage me!!!<br /><br />Stay on the narrow path, it gets tuff but that's okay.It is worth it!<br /><br />Your prayer is great by the way.<br /><br />~Focus on the SONSHINE~Daily Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243579752950295851noreply@blogger.com
