Corpus Christi University Parish Homilies

Father Jeremy Miller: “Too much of a good thing can actually be a bad thing, that’s the instinct of fasting.” What fasting protects within us: Fasting allows us to appreciate what we actually have. Fasting allows us to develop a spirit of spontaneity. Fasting protects us from heading into addiction, and the sudden lapse of judgement that comes from human judgment. Fasting allows us to rest.
