If we're constantly overindulging ourselves, how can we understand what it means to feast? In this episode, JonMarc Grodi looks at the concepts of feasting and fasting in the life of faith, why the Church calls us to deny ourselves in a special way during the season of Lent, and how our fasting is not meant to merely be an exercise in self-denial, but rather be intimately connected with the larger picture of what it means to be a Christian.

He also reflects on how the act of the Examination should itself be a practice of virtues to combat our vices — attending to God’s presence, choosing to see things in the light of faith, and making prudent plans for amending our lives.
