The heart of Lenten practice is fasting and abstinence. But what differentiates our Lenten fasting with plain dieting.
A diet's aim is beautification, but fasting's aim is beatification. Fasting wants to convert us from indulgence to self-dominion. Through fasting, we hope to overcome our desires and regulate our senses through the power of the Holy Spirit.
When our lives are ruled by the Holy Spirit, we become blessed and we become better disciples or witnesses of the Lord.
