(Mt 25:31-46)

In our lives, crucial choices have to be made and upon these choices our eternal destiny depends.

When did fasting begin? Did Jesus start the whole thing off? The righteous and the repentant fasted in the Old Testament. Well, what about Abraham then? The fact is, humankind was taught to fast right from the very beginning, in the Garden of Eden.

The Fathers of the Church are very clear that it is not God who separates himself from sinners and punishes them but rather sinners themselves who, through their own bad choices, separate themselves from the Lord and experience in that separation the sufferings of hell, darkness and despair.

The normal experience of being a Christian is both joy and struggle. There is a deep joy in knowing Christ but also a struggle against demonically inspired forces of violence and rebellion, inside us and outside us.

We sometimes approach God and say, “I want you to do whatever I ask.” Does it work?
