A Daily Quote to Inspire Your Catholic Faith
“Fasting is the soul of prayer, almsgiving is the lifeblood of fasting. Let no one try to separate them; they cannot be separated. If you have only one of them or not all together, you have nothing. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others you open God’s ear to yourself.” (Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor)
The Optional Memorial of Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor of the Church (380 – 450) is July 30.
