Everyone knows that Ash Wednesday is this week, right?
And we all know that those 18-59 are obliged to fast
on Ash Wednesday – and on Good Friday.
That means one full meal and two snacks if you need them.
And, we all know that the focus of Lent
is on repentance and self-denial:
that’s why we pray more seriously, and look to be more generous,
and we choose to give things up.
Allow me to point out: the hardest fast is not from food.
It is from words.
The words you and I speak.
And the words we listen to.
Fewer words mean more silence.
