Passion week or also known as the Holy week commemorates the events of our Lord's last week before his Death where he was brutally beaten ,abused, scoffed and suffered on the cross to atone for the sins of the world.
Our Church would like to encourage every member to take this time to observe a time of fasting and praying to reflect and remember our Lord's suffering for our sake. We encourage you to fast a meal , or to abstain from meat during this week.
Fasting helps us realize our emptiness and dependence, to seek the One who alone satisfies our needs, fills our hunger and our thirst for righteousness. When we fast we are nurturing our interior disposition to listen to Christ and be fed by His saving word.
