We’re fasting today. No meat, and (in effect) nibble some leftovers if your other choice is passing out. Back in the day, ‘long about 1992, I could fast for three days and then sing a 4-hour Mass, but age has taken its toll.

Blessed Good Friday.

Be careful with fasting. Fainting is no good.

I have been unable to fast since I was a kid because of the hypoglycemia, (the first time I did it, I fainted) and nowadays, the fact that I have to take pills three times a day. I need to eat a little something with them, or they tear my stomach up.

However, I would very much like to fast. It goes so well with prayer.

Doing something spiritual today might be a good idea, though. I need to think about that. I may implement it. Hmmm...
