The Celtic Christian Tradition attributes this to Pope Francis, but it’s really not clear who first said it. We just know this, somebody gave us a lot to think about at this time of year.
Beautiful words. May many of us around the world hold these close to our hearts.
Oh how I love this!!! I would love to find this on a poster! Growing up Catholic, fasting is not new to me. This, however, will certainly multiply the impact!
Thank you Emilie………..I also love this!
