rule II: abstinence and fasting

i will create regular days of silence and fasting for myself and molly. with the realization that it is about god's doing and my being there, on these days of silence i will:

• abstain from food
• focus on the gospels if any reading is done
• abstain from talking
• abstain from trying to figure it all out
• focus on communion
• focus on others

"keep your love for food in check and you will find it easier to control all inclinations of the flesh.
- thomas a kempis, the imitation of christ
