At Catholic Stand, Steve Greco writes on the value of fasting in spiritual battles -- and there are few battles more daunting than letting go of hurt and anger in order to forgive.
After explaining some of the ways that fasting can work, he concludes:
"When we add fasting to our pursuit of holiness we are using a huge spiritual weapon. It’s the reason why Jesus fasted before He faced the devil in the desert. Fasting gives us strength against the enemy and guides us. The Holy Spirit comes upon us when we fast. When we fast we act in the way the Lord has taught us. It is this level of holiness that will transform us into people of forgiveness and peace."
