10. New Wineskins: The Purpose of Fasting (Lenten Special)
From The Normal Christian Life · 1:28:18
Show by Frs. Michael and Christopher Trummer, Mary Bielski
Why do we fast, practice self-denial, and learn to say “no” to ourselves? This episode offers a perspective on asceticism that is challenging, yet also profoundly positive. We Christians are called to pursue a radical lifestyle of fasting and self-denial – not to punish ourselves or earn God’s love, but to be freed from earthly attachments and to become “new wineskins”, ready for an infilling of the new wine of the Holy Spirit.
