Fasting in Our Times – Sep 02 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Sep 02, 2022, on the life and martyrdom of the Franciscans Bls. Apollinaris of Posat, John Francis Burte, Severin Girault and companions, and how the best way to combat persecution is the practice of fasting as mentioned in the gospel reading from Luke 5:33-39, and he suggests adding more regular times of fasting.
