Dear friends.

At the same time as we are happy of longer days ond more light.    We are living in the middle of fasting time.

Fasting is meant to be an encouraging time to help us to reduce speed and be able to concentrate to most valuable things.

Fasting has physical and mental and spiritual aspects. Everyone may choose what he thiks the most needed and valuable.

Someone might have too much weight and too little physical action, which often causes mental depression and sleepyness.

Someone is too busy and he is trying to run in order to catch his timetable. Fasting might help to make choises between important and not important.

This fasting time is mainly for spiritual purposes. Simply said we are too tight after worldly and matherialistic minded. Heavenly values call us to concentrate to follow our Lord on his Via dolorosa. Voluntarily he died for us, he opened heaven for us. He promised to be with us every day until the end of our life.

Bless you 2010
