Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )  There is both a physical and a spiritual fast. In the physical fast, the body abstains from food and drink. In the spiritual fast, the faster abstains from evil intentions, words and deeds. One who truly fasts abstains from anger, rage, malice, and vengeance. One who truly fasts abstains from idle and foul talk, empty rhetoric, slander, condemnation, flattery, lying and all manner of spiteful talk. In a word, a real faster is one who withdraws from all evil.  St. Basil

Fall back on holy Scripture, there you will find the delight of your heart; you will find nothing there that will harm or poison you; rich is the food you will find there.  St. Augustine

By my conduct I must advertise what it means to be a good Catholic…Good example is a kind of silent preaching…words move but examples draw. Good example is more powerful than good works.  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.

(Ven. Fulton J. Sheen, Servant of God )
