I found this article on fasting and realized it fit right in with TOB and our beginnings into Lent. I even mentioned in class last week how I was going to come to class looking gloomy (to look the part) and then read Matthew 6: 16-18 and realized I was falling into the trap like the hypocrites.
From the article below by Father Boniface Hicks; "Fasting, like chastity, becomes a reverence for the Body. In short,
given the motivation Jesus provides, in which fasting (like chastity) is
an expression of longing and a preparation of the body for the Body of
the Bridegroom, we might even say, "fasting is romantic." Click the link below to read the entire article.
