Philip Morris Weekend Liturgies Small Steps to Stewardship: FASTING AND FEASTING Cindy Nau, Stewardship Director Fr. Michael Greco’s mission was thought-provoking and spiritual. On Monday, he had readers share this beautiful reflection, which is perfect to carry us through the rest of our Lenten journey. FAST from judging others; FEAST on the Christ dwelling within them. FAST from emphasis on differences; FEAST on unity of all life. FAST from apparent darkness; FEAST on the reality of light. FAST from thoughts of illness; FEAST on the healing power of God. FAST from words that pollute; FEAST on the phrases that purify. FAST from discontent; FEAST on gratitude. FAST from anger; FEAST on patience. FAST from pessimism: FEAST on optimism. FAST from worry; FEAST on God’s guiding presence. FAST from complaining; FEAST on appreciation. FAST from negatives; FEAST on positives. FAST from unrelenting pressures; FEAST on unceasing prayer. FAST from hostility; FEAST on bringing peace. FAST from bitterness: FEAST on forgiveness. FAST from anxiety. FEAST on hope. FAST from yourself. FEAST on a silent heart. (The author of this reflection is unknown, but various versions can be found online.) To All Parishioners: All are welcome to attend the Fr.
