SO GOOD QUOTES

“Few people today think of their eating habits as being spiritually significant. Especially in a society where food is plentiful and relatively cheap, it is so easy to get in the habit of eating in a self-centered, indulgent way that is not healthy spiritually or physically. The more deeply ingrained the habit of satisfying our taste buds and stomachs becomes, the weaker we become in our ability to resist other self-centered, indulgent desires. That makes it harder to put the needs of others before our own or to control what we say or do for the sake of others.”

—Fr. Philip LeMasters, Fasting for Fulfillment
