THE APOSTLES' FAST
Tomorrow, we begin the Fast of the Holy Apostles, and we are called to embrace this sacred time with prayer, fasting and reflection.
The Apostles' Fast is a beautiful opportunity to honour the Holy Apostles, especially Saints Peter and Paul, whose unwavering faith and tireless work laid the foundation of the early Church. Through this fast, we strive to draw closer to Christ, following the example of the Apostles in faith, sacrifice and love.
The Apostles’ Fast, which is observed from tomorrow until the 29th of June, is generally less strict than Great Lent, but still a meaningful time of discipline. We abstain from meat, dairy and eggs. However fish, wine, and oil are permitted (except Wednesdays and Fridays, which are fast days - no fish, wine, or oil).
Beyond abstaining from certain foods, this Fast invites us to grow spiritually and deepen our relationship with Christ; let us use this season of spiritual renewal to grow in faith, increase our prayers and serve one another in love.
A BLESSED AND FRUITFUL APOSTLE'S FAST TO ALL!
