Set aside some time to read these lines in a contemplative manner. Pay attention to which word or phrase jumps out at you. Let that word or phrase work in you throughout the day.
Maybe post this somewhere in your home, reading it at different times to see what else emerges for you during the week. Each week we will offer a new set of lines from this poem.
Fast from apparent darkness;
Feast on the reality of light.
Fast from thoughts of illness;
Feast on the healing power of God.
Fast from self-concern;
Feast on compassion for others.
Fast from personal anxiety;
Feast on eternal Truth.
From "A Lenten Prayer" by William Arthur Ward
