This was a talk I gave for the Armor of God Men's Group on April 20th, 2023 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church's Life Center. In it I go over what fasting is, giving definitions and explanations from Aquinas, De Sales, and Benedict XVI. I also give a history of the Church's fasting disciplines from the Old Testament to the present day. Lastly, I offer some reflections on how these previous disciplines can spur us on to fast with more intentionality today.

In this episode I give my opinions regarding the Liturgy Wars within the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church (the Traditional Latin Mass vs. the Novus Ordo). The Traditional Latin Mass currently in use is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1962." The Novus Ordo is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1969." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parker-zurbuch6/support
