What old is new again! Even the medical community now thinks fasting is good after years of telling us to eat every 3-4 hours which makes the body produce insulin and could be adding to cells insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. God has control of everything we just need to figure out His path and speaking with Him in prayer is a good start. Happy Lent! But how did they get the animals to fast?
Amen. Thank you Holy Father for this beautiful day and for today's Gospel. Thank you Lord for my faith, my life and for my family. Thank you Holy Father, most of all, for your great sacrifice and for the opportunity of forgiveness and reconciliation. Please Lord have mercy. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of Endless Glory. Amen
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Amen!
Thank you for today's meditation.
I ask all of you to please pray for the city of Nashville and the surrounding areas that were devastated by the tornado that ripped through starting about midnight Tuesday morning. My husband and I are fine. We live south of the city. Our daughter and her family were in the direct path and were blessed to have no structural damage to their home, no power yet, but that is small compared the the tremendous loss of life and homes and businesses. We are Nashville. We are strong. We are a city steeped in faith. Your prayers mean so much to us.
God bless you, Living Faith Family.
Jesus,
Help me to figure things out. Help me see like you see. Thank you Jesus.
Amen.
Pray that we never in our lives ask Jesus for a sign and just use our faith in him as our sign.
Today, one week into Lent let us continue to enter into our new habits found this Lent.
Prayers
Alms Giving
Fasting, in our one way
Doing this all silently in our own lives to be a better person.
Dear Jesus, help me to continue to come to you in prayer, for me, for others and help me be a better version of myself today.
Amen
During this holy season of Lent let us keep our eyes on Jesus crucified who is love and mercy it’s self.

Thank you Amy for your devotion.
"This Is Lent"
"Today's first Mass reading raises our expectations for Lent. One-hundred and twenty-thousand citizens of the extremely violent city of Nineveh converted in one day at the prophetic word of Jonah (see Jon 4:11). The Lord once again did the impossible, since "for God all things are possible" (Mt 19:26)."
The Lord wants us to have the greatest expectations for Lent. He uses the joys and tragedies of life to influence us and lead us to His amazing plans for this and every other Lent.
"This is Lent", may we all, our Living Faith Family have a wonderful, faithful and spiritual Lenten Journey. Amen.
