Pax Christi!

This Friday I will fast. At present (Wednesday) I have not chosen an intention and am listening to suggestions.

My preference is for more general intentions (all those who X) rather than (for so-and-so) but all ideas are appreciated.

God bless.
 
Please offer up your fasting for all those who struggle with sins of flesh like me!

Thank you so much! May God bless you and yours forever! 🙂

For me. 🙂

I think it’s good to do both general and individual intentions. For individuals, you might rotate between friends and family members, particularly those you know are having a rough time.

For general intentions, there is no shortage of things to pray for either. Vocations, children with special needs, those displaced by war (such as the Christians in Iraq), for an end to abortion and the promotion of a culture of life, for the protection of marriage, for people to encounter Jesus more fully in their lives, for our civil leaders, for our religious leaders, for the poor, for those who have died, for those who are about to die, for the elderly and homebound, for those who have no one else to pray for them…the list goes on and on. 🙂

This. I would specify sins of a sexual nature which are so prevalent today.
 
How about fasting for those in danger of death through the genocide by ISIS?

God bless you!
 
For the persecuted Christians! That is if we can fast and pray for the living. (I’m a bit new at this)
 
I have fasted for people who are lack access to nutritious food, and for those who suffer from eating disorders. The connection of what I am doing to the intention makes it more intentional for me, I think.

But there are lots of good suggestions here, too! 🙂
 
I’d really like it if you’d fast for all those who struggle to carry their cross and are going through great trials. That they might find the strength to endure their cross and that Christ might grant them mercy until they find victory in Him.

Wonderful of you to offer such a sacrifice.
 
Fasting for those who are unrepentant on their deathbed is a very good intention. God bless you.
