Eating Simply

Take on board this Lifestyle challenge to reclaim the Friday Fast as a Catholic practice and Eat Simply on a Friday.

When we fast it gives us the opportunity to focus completely on God. It teaches us the value of waiting rather than just consuming.

The church has always linked Fasting with Prayer and Almsgiving and during Lent or Advent are the ideal times to rediscover our "spiritual thirst".

To get started download the challenge Eating Simply

During Lent think about linking your Fasting and Eating Simply to prayer. Eating simply in a spirit of gratitude and at 12 pm every day just before lunch pray for a particular country and its people.
