Fasting and Feasting

The following concise and powerful, simple but not so simple prayer was suggested by Betty Desjardins, one of Central Catholic's Campus Ministers. It is a fitting slice of bread for this Holy Week and can be the blueprint for the days beyond it.
Bro. Rene

Fast from being discontent; Feast on thankfulness
Fast from worry; Feast on trust.
Fast from anger; Feast on patience.
Fast from self-concern; Feast on compassion
Fast from daily pressures; Feast on daily prayers.
Fast from bitterness; Feast on forgiveness.
Fast from discouragement; Feast on hope.
Fast from idle gossip; Feast on purposeful silence.
Fast from problems that overhwlem; Feast on prayer that strengthens.
