Join us as seminarian Ryan leads us in reflection on the meaning of fasting in this episode of The Lenten Path. As we journey through Lent, fasting is more than just abstaining from food—it is an invitation to deeper compassion, solidarity, and spiritual growth. Through personal experiences and Scripture, Ryan challenges us to go beyond mere self-denial and embrace fasting as a way to unite ourselves with the suffering of others and the hunger Jesus has for justice.
During the episode, Ryan reflects on Isaiah 58:7, which reveals the kind of fasting that pleases the Lord: “Is it not sharing your bread with the hungry, bringing the afflicted and the homeless into your house; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own flesh?” (Isaiah 58:7)
