Lent, Time for Fasting – Feb 24 – Homily – Fr John Lawrence

 

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Feb 24, 2023, on why we fast during lent and on Fridays because this is when Lord is taken away from us, while when he was here, his disciples did not fast. The wedding guests do not fast while the bridegroom is here (Mat 9: 14). Fr. explains the principles of atonement, humility, contriteness, love of God, sincerity, works of mercy, almsgiving, and more.
