I thought I might re-post this old post on fasting for Lent. Enjoy!Reinvigorate fasting in your spiritual life by meditating for nine days on the following Scripture passages about the practice. While you're at it, read Pope Benedict XVI's Message for Lent (from 2009) on the same topic.
First Day - Genesis 2:4-17
Second Day - Isaiah 58:1-9
Third Day - Jonah 3
Fourth Day - Matthew 4:1-11
Fifth Day - Matthew 6:14-21
Sixth Day - Mark 2:18-22
Seventh Day - Mark 9:14-29
Eighth Day - Luke 16:19-31
Ninth Day - John 4:31-38
"My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work." (John 4:34)
