It depends on how rough/sinful our fellow humans are. If you don’t feel that you’ve been challenged enough in the areas of Virtue, maybe another form of sacrifice could be added, but only with advice of a knowledgeable Priest, first.
 
Good one. Yes, they went through challenges which required heroic virtues. Thanks.
 
Try fasting. It will keep you detached from food. It may even inspire you to be more grateful to God for what He’s blessed you with.
 
Meditating on the Beatitudes is helpful: they turn everything most people seek in this world upside down. They are radical indeed.
 
Ok. Yeah, that’s a tough one, for me. I don’t think about food much. When fasting, that’s ALL I think about! Have to do some thinking on that. It might help to discipline my thoughts & my body.
 
My Mom just passed 27December2017. Have been in a sort of fog, but it wouldn’t merit anything, I don’t think.
 
Yeah, go ahead and pray about it. It’s up to the Lord to decide your course of action. However, it’s worth noting what Jesus said in Matthew 6:18. He said that the Father will reward you if you fast (as long as you’re doing it for God and not to show off).
 
Love your answer. Haven’t fasted for some time due to ill health. When/if I ever can do that again, it will SURELY be all & only for God’s Glory. It isn’t a thing that I would choose except for His Sake.😁
 
I’m sorry for your loss :confused:
Your suffering is real. Don’t worry about how much it’s worth, offer to God the suffering you are having.
Hugs and prayers for you and your dear mother :pray:t2::pray:t2::pray:t2:
 
How kind. Thank you so much. She is one of those who lived an exceedingly heroic life.🌼
