Lenten season and Ramadan season is here.

Why Do We Fast?

I read a story of a man from Ebonyi state Nigeria, Mr Ikechukwu Oke, that fasted for 41 days and nights. In the photographs of him which I saw, he was looking skinny, almost all his bones were visible as though he is a living skeleton. He lay on the mat with his Bible opened as he seemed to be reading it. Obviously, he was looking like someone who was already dying. And report has it that he has beaten the record of Christ who fasted for 40 days and nights.

When I read stories like this, many things come to mind. One of which is the length of time it will really take to correct so many wrong teachings people pass across in the name of Christianity.

People are made to fast for 21 days for the intention of attracting life partners. People fast for 30 days so as to break what they call generational curses. Christians even use fasting to threaten people whom they consider their enemies, claiming that if they fast with them in mind, they will die. And during Lent, some Catholics fast to make a show that they are holy and faithful to the church's teachings.

In summary, we can say categorically that Christian fasting has been greatly abused to the extent that we have lost the essence of fasting.

As such, we must at this point ask ourselves this very important question: why do Christians fast?

As humans, we are made up of body and spirit. As Christians, we aim at having a relationship with God. Unfortunately, God is not bodily, rather, he is Spirit. We can not sincerely reach the spirit unless we make ourselves spirits. And as St John even clarified in John 4:24, "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

What does it mean?

For example, if knowledge is immaterial, it therefore means that to attain knowledge we must make ourselves immaterial. And if God is Spirit, to really have a deeper relationship with him, we must make ourselves spirits.

This is where fasting comes to play. In fasting, what we are simply doing is to make our spirit-self more active by playing down on the bodily part of us. So, we deny ourselves of bodily desires (things that we cherish most which might not be bad in themselves) so that we could gradually have a connection to our spirit self and invariably relate with God who is Spirit.

It is like an app, I can't send you anything through the app called Xender unless you have the same Xender in your phone and it is active. I can't use Bluetooth to send you messages on WhatsApp. It has to be WhatsApp to WhatsApp. Bluetooth to Bluetooth. Etc.

Fasting is not just about deciding not to eat. There is a consciousness in fasting, the consciousness of connecting with the Divine. And of course, some are still able to connect even without fasting from food. But the point is, one necessarily has to suspend so many bodily desires if the person is interested in having a deeper union with a being that is not bodily.

For Catholics, when fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

Fasting is not a su***de mission or a goal to achieve a certain number of days without food. Some people fast to lose weight. You can Google the name, Angus Barbieri. Reportedly, he went without food for 382 days just to reduce his weight. Check also, Dennis Galer Goodwin. He went without food for 385 days to prove his innocence over a r**e allegation. There are hungry people who only eat once a day, do we call that fasting because they usually don't see food to eat sometimes until it is 2 pm or 4 pm?

Fasting helps us to connect quickly with the Divine. It is exactly what Christ told John's disciples in Matthew 9:15, that his disciples will have no need of fasting as long as the bridegroom is still with them. In essence, he was saying, why will they struggle to connect with me when I am already here in body with them? Maybe once I leave, they will.

Dear friends,

It is not fasting that brings you life partners. It is not by fasting that you get a job or your business will flourish. Fasting does not kill those you consider your enemy.

When you fast, spend time to connect with the Divine in silence and develop that sweet union with him in which both of you could deeply talk and listen to each other just like how friends do. Stop this parade of showing off how spiritual you are because you fast.

Some of the things some of you do and call it Christian fasting could be better-called starvation. It will be better if you just go and eat instead of deceiving yourself.

✝️WHY THE ROSARY IS A WEAPON, AND WHEN IT FIRST ENTERED THE BATTLEFIELD😳🤔
___________________
People think Catholics “just repeat prayers.”
They don’t know the truth.

The Rosary was never meant to be a decoration.
It was never meant to be an accessory.
It entered history the way weapons enter a war, through blood, fear, and a Church under attack.

✝️1. THE DAY THE CHURCH WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE

In the year 1571, Europe was collapsing.
The Ottoman Empire had swallowed Christian lands like fire swallowing dry grass.
If they won one more battle, Rome itself would fall.
The Cross would be torn down.
Mass would be outlawed.
Christianity would vanish from history.

Everyone was afraid, except one man:
Pope Pius V.

He didn’t have soldiers.
He didn’t have weapons.
He didn’t have money.

But he had something stronger.

He held beads.

✝️2. THE POPE WHO FOUGHT WITH A PRAYER

Pope Pius V gathered Rome and said one crazy, impossible thing:

“Take up your Rosary.”

Not swords.
Not shields.
Not political alliances.

The Rosary.

He asked every Catholic, from soldiers to widows to children, to pray it as if the survival of the Church depended on it.

Because it did.

✝️3. LEPANTO: THE FIRST BATTLE OF THE ROSARY

October 7th, 1571.
The Christian fleet, outnumbered and outgunned, met the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Lepanto.

While cannons roared on the sea, Pope Pius V walked through Rome with his Rosary, beads in hand, praying with tears in his eyes.

And then something happened.

Historians call it “a sudden change of wind.”
We call it intervention.

The wind turned against the Ottoman fleet and for the Christian army.
It flipped the entire direction of the battle.

The impossible happened:
Christianity survived because of the Rosary.

The victory was so shocking, so miraculous, that the Church created a new feast:
Our Lady of the Rosary.

✝️4. WHY THE ROSARY IS STILL A WEAPON TODAY

The Church calls the Rosary a “spiritual sword.”
Not poetry.
Not fancy words.

A sword.

Because:

It destroys temptations.

It breaks spiritual attacks.

It protects families.

It collapses demonic strategies.

It turns weak people into warriors.

Every “Hail Mary” is a bullet.
Every decade is a shield.
Every Rosary prayed with faith is a battle won long before the enemy realizes he has lost.

✝️5. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY SAINTS ALWAYS CARRIED ONE…

They knew what we forget:

Hell has no defense against humility, repetition, and the Mother of God.

The devil mocks every prayer except one,
the one that crushes his head every single time.

The Rosary is not jewelry.

The Rosary is not tradition.
The Rosary is not decoration.
The Rosary is a weapon.

And history remembers the day it saved the world.

God bless you

LESSONS FROM ANGER OR RATHER RAGE!

😡CRAZY ANGER😡

🎯 During our staff meeting today, I asked everyone to share “a day they will never forget and the lessons they learned from that experience.”

Honestly, I thought it was going to be a lighthearted discussion, something to make us reflect, laugh, and bond as a team. I had no idea that question would unlock deep emotions, hidden pains, and life-changing truths that would touch my heart in a way I never imagined.

And I’m sharing this because I believe it might touch you too, deeply.

So, please, take a few minutes and read carefully. This is not just another story. It’s a mirror.

One after another, my staff began to speak. Some told funny stories that made us laugh until our eyes watered. Some shared inspiring experiences that drew applause. Then it got to one of our newest team members, a quiet young lady who had only joined us a few days ago.

She held her glasses, took a deep breath, and said softly, “The day I’ll never forget was the day I lost my right eye.”

The room went silent. I could hear a pin drop.

I looked at her in shock and asked, “Wait, which eye❓️”

She smiled faintly. “This one,” she said, pointing gently.

She’s always worn transparent glasses, so I never noticed anything unusual, not even a hint that she was seeing with just one eye.

Then she continued with a calm but painful tone, “My dad beat me out of anger when I was a child. He was furious that day. In the heat of it, his hand mistakenly hit my eye. We tried everything, hospitals, treatments, prayers, but it was too late. I eventually lost that eye.”

At that moment, my heart sank. I was speechless.

Because truth be told, I had already planned to discipline my son that night. He had done something earlier that really got me angry, and I was waiting for him to return home so I could “teach him a lesson.”

But after hearing her story, my entire mindset changed instantly.

And just when I thought the session couldn’t get any more emotional, another staff member raised his hand to speak.

He said quietly, “For me, it was the day I realized my dad could barely hear. His hearing got damaged because my grandfather once slapped him out of anger. That single slap affected his ear permanently.”

He paused for a moment, fighting back tears.

“Now,” he continued, “we literally have to shout when we talk to him, or write things down for him to read. His ear has never been the same again, all because of one moment of uncontrolled anger.”

The whole room fell silent again. Nobody could speak.

I sat there, deeply moved, thinking about how many parents, out of frustration or impulse, have caused wounds that can never heal.

How many destinies have been scarred by the hands meant to protect.
How many hearts carry invisible pain, born from a single moment of rage.

That meeting became more than a discussion. It became a mirror for all of us, parents, leaders, and guardians.

And here’s what I learned that day, a lesson I will never forget:

✅️ Never discipline a child in anger. Never.

Because anger blinds judgment. It clouds wisdom.
And one careless moment, one strike, one slap, one push, can create a lifetime of pain, guilt, and regret.

Sometimes what we call correction becomes destruction.
What we call training becomes trauma.
What we call love becomes loss.

Children are fragile, not just in body, but in heart and spirit. They remember every harsh word, every blow, every expression of uncontrolled rage.

And those memories don’t fade easily. They shape how they see love, authority, and even God.

So, my dear parents, guardians, and leaders,
Let’s learn to control our tempers. Let’s think before we act. Let’s correct with calmness, not chaos. Let’s discipline with sense, not with rage.

Our children are not projects to fix; they are treasures to nurture.

May God grant us the grace to raise them with patience and wisdom.
May He protect our homes from actions we’ll forever regret.
May He teach us to be slow to anger, quick to understand, and rich in love.

🎯 PS: If this story touches your heart, please don’t keep it to yourself.
Share it with other parents, teachers, and caregivers.
Let’s remind ourselves, over and over, that true discipline is born from love, not anger.

Because one second of rage can destroy what years of love have built❗️
And one moment of patience can save a lifetime of sorrow. ❤️
Copied!

✝️ WHY DON’T CATHOLICS CALL CHAPTER AND VERSES WHILE READING THE BIBLE AT MASS?😳🤔

1️⃣ READING VS. PROCLAIMING

Catholics don’t just read the Bible at Mass.
We proclaim it.

📖 To “read” is to look at text and understand.
✝️ To “proclaim” is to announce a message with authority.

At Mass, the Word of God is not private study, it is a public proclamation of God’s voice to His people.

That’s why the lector ends with:
👉 “The Word of the Lord.”
And the deacon or priest ends with:
👉 “The Gospel of the Lord.”

It is not our word. It is God speaking now.

2️⃣ THE LITURGY IS NOT A BIBLE STUDY

Many don’t realize: Catholics already know the readings before Mass.

Every Catholic who owns a Missal or Liturgical Calendar knows:
👉 The readings of today.
👉 The readings of tomorrow.
👉 Even the readings of March 17, 2026, years ahead!

Why? Because the Church has a 3-year cycle of Scripture readings, carefully designed so that across Sundays, weekdays, and feasts, the entire story of salvation unfolds.

So Mass is not the first time Catholics hear the readings. They are meant to be read at home before Mass, so that during Mass we don’t “study” them, but hear God speak through them.

3️⃣ WHY WE DON’T ANNOUNCE CHAPTER AND VERSE

If the lector says: “First Reading: Isaiah chapter 55, verses 1–3,” what happens?

📌 People grab their Bibles, flip pages, and start “reading along.”
But in that moment, the Mass shifts from proclamation to study.

And the Church is clear: Mass is not a classroom. It is worship.

At Mass, we don’t “search the text.”
We listen to the voice of the Spirit speaking through the proclamation.

That’s why chapter and verse are intentionally omitted, not to hide the Bible, but to lift the Bible above private reading into communal proclamation.

4️⃣ THE CHURCH’S WISDOM

Think about it: In the early Church there were no chapter and verse numbers.

Those were added in the 13th and 16th centuries—for study and reference.

The Mass preserves the ancient way of hearing Scripture:
👉 Not distracted by numbers.
👉 Not reduced to proof-texts.
👉 But heard as a living word addressed to the people of God.

That’s why after the reading, the people respond:
🙌 “Thanks be to God.”
Because they have heard God Himself speaking.

5️⃣ SO,

The next time someone says:
👉 “Catholics don’t announce chapter and verse because they don’t want people to know the Bible…”

You can answer with confidence:
- Catholics don’t just read, we proclaim.
- The readings are already known in advance.
- Mass is not a classroom, it is worship.
- Scripture is not hidden, it is made living and present.

At Mass, God’s Word is not a dead text, it is a voice from heaven, proclaimed in the assembly, received in faith, and sealed in the Eucharist.

🙏 So when you hear “The Word of the Lord”… don’t rush to check numbers.
Bow your heart and answer: “Thanks be to God.”
