“Not even to follow the 40 Days of Fasting that Jesus did in the desert?

It’s in your Bible. Why isn’t it recognized and followed by all since it is an example set forth by Jesus Christ himself?”

Do Catholics actually follow that example? I come from an entire family of Catholics and I have never seen a single one of them go out into the desert and subsist without food for 40 days during Lent.

Of course, Jesus never told us to try to follow that example, probably because it would be very foolish for us mortal humans to attempt. However, if you want to accuse others of not following the example, shouldn’t you follow it yourself first, so as not to be a hypocrite?
