Consider Fasting a privilege
It strengthens the Spirit,
and Unites us to Christ in True Union
Christ is the essence of Self Sacrificing Love!
We gain the privilege in his perfection in a special way
We forge grace in union with him and in perfect charity for others
This is a 3 fold blessing of healing and deliverance and grace
Blessing and grace abounds through this privilege to love more fervently
Even the angels cannot participate in the privilege of sacrifice
From clutter to clarity
From offering to union
Sacrifice is the distinction between offering up prayer and uniting in prayer
Mark 9:23-28 (DR)
“And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”
