Nutritional Development Services is hosting its annual “One-Can Meal” food drive to help fulfill the Lenten season’s call to prayer, almsgiving, and fasting.
God commanded it, Jesus practiced it, and the Church Fathers have preached the importance of it. Fasting is a powerful and fundamental part of the Christian life.
Pope Francis, in his Lenten message 2018 says, by devoting more time to prayer, we enable our hearts to root out our secret lies and forms of self-deception, and then find the consolation God offers.
