154. Fasting: Recovering the Ancient Christian Practice

This was a talk I gave for the Armor of God Men's Group on April 20th, 2023 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church's Life Center. In it I go over what fasting is, giving definitions and explanations from Aquinas, De Sales, and Benedict XVI. I also give a history of the Church's fasting disciplines from the Old Testament to the present day. Lastly, I offer some reflections on how these previous disciplines can spur us on to fast with more intentionality today.

What does true evangelization look like? Many of us (especially in America) have ill informed views about evangelization, how it is done, and what it is.
