"Lent is a time to fast from certain things but also a time to feast on others.  Fast from discontent, anger, bitterness, self-concern, discouragement, laziness, suspicion, guilt.  Feast on gratitude, patience, forgiveness, compassion for others, hope, commitment, truth, and the mercy of God.  Lent is just such a time of fasting and feasting!"

Father Thomas Rosica, "Fasting during Lent" in Christ is our Hope magazine.
