Pope Francis’ Word’s Do you want to fast this Lent?  The Pope’s Words, also, apply to Advent!

Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
 
Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.
Fast from worries and trust in God.
 
Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
 

Fast from pressures and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy.
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others.
Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.


Let me add a few specifically for Advent.

Fast from overspending except to help the poor.                                                 
Fast from overeating and help those who hunger.                                                                
Fast from overdrinking and refresh those who thirst.                                                           
Fast from something so you can spend more time in prayer.

May your Advent be blessed, and your Christmas be filled with Christ and His Joy!

May God Be Praised!
