Make Room for Jesus This Lent: How Fasting Becomes Prayer & Mercy

Fasting is often seen as dieting, discipline, or simply giving something up. But in the spiritual life, fasting becomes something much deeper. In this episode, we explore how fasting — from food, distractions, or even negative habits — can become a prayer offered to God. United with Christ’s suffering, our sacrifices can draw us closer to Jesus, open our hearts to grace, and even help souls throughout the world. As Lent begins, discover how making space in your life allows mercy to flow more freely. We reflect on wisdom from Scripture and the diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska, and explore how fasting can become an offering of love — not obligation. If you’ve only thought of fasting in physical terms, this episode invites you to see its spiritual power.
