Father Jeremy Miller: “Too much of a good thing can actually be a bad thing, that’s the instinct of fasting.”
What fasting protects within us:
- Fasting allows us to appreciate what we actually have.
- Fasting allows us to develop a spirit of spontaneity.
- Fasting protects us from heading into addiction, and the sudden lapse of judgement that comes from human judgment.
- Fasting allows us to rest.
