Why We Fast | LITTLE BY LITTLE with Fr Columba Jordan CFR

NEW EPISODE: In our very first episode of "Little by Little", Fr Columba answers why Christians fast, pointing to Jesus' words and example.

He also gets to the practical — what does the Church require of us, and how exactly should we fast? Do we start small, or dive deep? What if we fail, or feel prideful? Is it okay to use fasting to diet? And how can fasting actually be a form of prayer?
