An Invitation for Lent

“ Lenten Resolves by The Rev. Canon Mark S. Anschutz (mentor and friend of The Rev. Dr. Manoj Mathew Zacharia)
Fast from judging others;
Feast on Christ dwelling in them.
Fast from illness;
Feast on the healing power of God.
Fast from words that pollute;
Feast on speech that purifies;
Fast from discontent;
Feast on gratitude.
Fast from anger;
Feast on patience.
Fast from pessimism;
Feast on optimism.
Fast from negatives;
Feast on alternatives.
Fast from bitterness;
Feast on forgiveness.
Fast from self concern;
Feast on compassion.
Fast from gossip.
Feast on purposeful silence.
Fast from problems that overwhelm;
Feast on prayer that sustains.
Fast from worry;
Feast on faith..”
— The Rev. Canon Mark S. Anschutz
