FAST DAY TOMORROW! TUITIO FIDEI!

In all the bustle of daily life it is easy to forget or overlook that a group of exorcists have called for tomorrow to be kept as Fast Day in reparation from some of the events at the Amazon Synod which we have covered elsewhere (HERE and HERE). Here is a very fruitful work of Tuitio Fidei which all healthy members of the Order, Companions and Friends can offer for the good of the whole Church.

This means omitting one full meal, and taking only a small meal or snack to keep you energy up.  You may drink whatever you wish, even unto the finest vintages. It is, obviously, anyway a Friday and thus a day of abstinence from meat.

We are encouraged, if we are are able, to fast on bread and water, that is, only sufficient bread to sustain you as you go about your normal activities, and abstaining from all other more pleasurable food. Having said that, it is perfectly legitimate for it to be nice bread, fasting is not an exercise in making life unpleasant, but an act of prayer and adoration. It is the joy of offering, not the degree of hardship, which is supernaturally efficacious.

For a full explanation and suitable prayers to the Sacred Heart, see Fr Z's article HERE, and the LIFESITE News article HERE.

Finally, a picture to remind you why you would want to do this.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Our Lady conceived without original sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee.
