On our previous Fast Friday Phone Call, we heard about how the practice of fasting was growing in a parish community. We received lots of positive feedback about this great idea and how others were doing something similar or were now inspired to do the same at their parish or in their prayer group. Yeah!

Well, this week we hope to inspire you all even more so, as now we are taking it home!

Yes, we're talking about fasting as a family. It can be done and it should be done. Just take a listen to this telephone conversation I had with my good friend Mary about how she finally dove into fasting big time, and how the whole family is now on board.

Mary shares practical tips on how to make it work and how her family and others have benefited since they began to fast together. We hope this will help you and your entire family do the same. It will only mean more blessings for us and for the whole world, so go for it!
