Your Fasting is Doing More Than You Think (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast

Show Notes

Our lives are so full of noise, distractions, constant activity. But we weren’t made to be filled with these things.

Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that fasting isn’t just about food. It’s about emptying ourselves so God can fill us. Lent isn’t only about saying no, it’s about saying yes to Someone greater. Support The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast
