Subject: Fast Friday Challenge - The Eastern Rite Fast

Whoa, this is inspiring! We've got a lot to learn from the EAST . . .

Dear Friend,


Easter Greetings! We hope you had a wonderful Divine Mercy Sunday weekend and will continue to pray with us throughout the season to the Solemnity of Pentecost on May 28th.

The Eastern Rite Fast - What a Lesson!


Now on to today's message. After speaking with our friend Julie Fiebiger from Wyoming about her Mercy Sunday preparations, I just had to get her to share how she has learned to fast from the Byzantine rite community near her at Wyoming Catholic College in Lander. To say the least, we were convicted, and we hope you will be too.


We hope this interview will give you some new ideas for fasting and help you to raise your bar. It's an essential part of the battle for souls today. Thanks for your prayerful consideration.


Have a blessed Fast Friday,

Joan Maroney
