Everyone talks about the fast on ash wednesday. when we get up we have a nice
breakfast. We must eat less- today is ash wednesday fasting day. then in the
afternoon we eat rice with fish- today is fasting day eat less. In the evening
we have a nice dinner. Today is fasting day eat less. what is the big noise
about it ? all tiatr and khell tiatrs . Jesus fasted for 40 days. The bible
does not speak how he fasted. He never told or ordered his disciples to
fast.Why does the church order the christians to fast ? why it is published in
the newspapers ? because this fast is a first scene of our tiatr. When I
attended a retreat in Potta they requested us to fast one day. It was optional.
Those who were not fasting could get coupons for food. We went without eating
till around 5 pm .There were prayer programme as usual but less in number and
people prayed .we only drank water and at five in the evening we broke our
fast. Since it was voluntary it had a meaning. The Lord Jesus said" There is no
need to fast when the bridgroom is with you. Those who fast are not followers
of christ because they are anxiously waiting for the second coming when they
are not satisfied with the first coming. I always pray to Jesus that his second
coming should not have a crown of thorns on his head and a crucifix on his
shoulders. His first coming was a waste of time because love is replaced by
hate. unselfishness is replaced by selfishness, pride and greed. God has been
replaced with idols. Crown of thorns by crown of pearls. Stable with palaces.
wooden stool with a rich throne. Who is your God today ? is it a human being or
the spirit of God ! If it is human being or earth that I should say you will
die and go down along with the earthly crowns. Don't we find palaces sinking
down in the earth in the past ? Choice is yours.
