Thank you for sharing, sister Emmanuel! Sending love and prayers. I’ve started fasting, this is my second week. I’ve noticed that it has opened up a big desire to spend time with the Blessed Sacrament in adoration every day. It’s been beautiful! I’m also praying for a very big miracle in my family and marriage. 💗💗💗💗

Thank you so much.. I had so many questions regarding fasting.. Especially when I fast the same day I get more aggressive and I know this is something which I have to work on.. I am really struggling with my anger.. Please pray and I'll really work on this.. And God will help me to get over this.. I believe

I've been called to fasting for all teens who question faith. Please pray for me.

[@christinevon3524]

Thank you Sister Emmanuel. The more I read the Bible the more convinced I was that fasting is God's remedy for our spiritual graces and the natural medicine for our body, so I read a book in January that was a fast and prayer guide to follow during Lent and thought I would try it this year- its basically following a monastic diet combined with Liturgy of the Hours prayer. I feel better than ever physically and my relationship with God has never been stronger. What started as "I' can do this for Lent" has become a lifestyle.

Thank you sister Emmanuel. I did my first fasting (only eating bread and drinking water) last Wednesday and it was a difficult sacrifice and I was able to fast again yesterday. But if God will give me the grace and will continue to do fasting every Friday. Please pray for me.

[@laurameszaros9547]

Fasting is great!! Its health benefits are now proven beyond doubt, with a Nobel prizewinning physician establishing the link between fasting and autophagy (the body's mechanism for regeneration on the cellular level) in 2016. Spiritual benefits will depend on the person concerned, but the physical benefits will apply to almost everyone. I speak as a former diabetic who put the disease into remission as a result of regular intermittent fasting.

Thank you, thank you , thank you. You have moved me to tears.

[@peaceonearth7223]

thank you sister Emmanuel Maillard for sharing the great info about fasting. I have never heard or been taught how powerful fasting can be. and (your tip) praying for the Holy Spirit to help me the day before my fasting. My sister and I have started a life long fasting every week on Weds and Fridays just as you have suggested for already 4 weeks. I must say never in my life that i have fasted with lots of joy and excitement; and amazingly I could do only one piece of bread and water all day. One time my daughter Jamie commented out of the blue "why are you so happy mom when you are fasting today." Thank you Holy Spirit! thank you sister. now I fast with a great purpose to be in union with Jesus with his salvation to save souls amen . alleluia. amen. God bless you sister for your wonderful evangelizing.

@@Christina-ji7yd yes I’m still do and I’ve seen great conversion results in my children and people I pray for. It makes me excited to pray for others and increases my faith in folds. So now I always try to get many to do with me. Christina you pray to the Holy Spirit the night before OT helps so much just like Sister Emmanuel days in her video,. Good luck I’ll pray for you ok sister in Christ

[@peaceonearth7223]

@@Christina-ji7yd and the day that seems so hard to do I just know there’s a soul somewhere will be saved and the devil doesn’t want that to happen. I pray more and try my best to fast because if you win fasting battle Mother Mary gains a soul 💜 and remember You’re not doing alone you’re doing with Christ, Mother Mary, saints, angels and people like me ( the whole giant heavenly Army 😇)

[@Christina-ji7yd]

@@peaceonearth7223 Thank you so much for your advice and encouraging words. So happy to hear that you are still fasting. My family needs radical change but myself especially. Today I came across these words in Isaiah 30:20-21 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. I was given to notice again the water and bread theme in fasting and the promise of seeing our Teacher and hearing the Lord. WOW! A Scriptural affirmation too from God today plus your message today. I then associated it with fasting and what Sr Emmanuel said about it making us more inclined and open to the Holy Spirit. Dear sister in Christ I thus definitely need your prayers along with All of heaven to succeed and thank you for offering them. Stay blessed with Jesus amd Mama Mary always by your side

[@cdzulueta]

Thank you Sr. for inspiring me.. your videos kept me company and allowed me to examine myself in the light of Jesus. I fasted today and I failed. I had the most terrible headache in my life at about 3pm and started vomiting. The pain became so unbearable, maybe because of caffeine withdrawal. I wasnt hungry because i ate bread and water sufficiently. Until I decided to pop some advil, ate bananas and threw up again because it was sooo bad, throbbing painfully. I got worried about the pain because i have 4 children, a 4mo baby that Im breastfeeding that I might not be able to attend Oh, how disappointed i am now. But i know Mother Mary knows very well my heart. Maybe next time when I fast.. i'll withdraw from coffee first so that the next time I fast, the headache won't be that bad. Sr., God bless. You won't probably read this, but anyway, I thank God for the gift of you.

[@tryphineshumba8158]

Sister ,i would suggest you fast from 6am till 3pm....The lord knows your work load and it cannot be easy while breastfeeding. Plz sister take your concerns to the Lord because he is merciful and kind. Ask for revelation, maybe in this season God wants you to fast one meal a day , everyday for a week..You fast will be just as accepted as someone who fasts 30 days , drinking only water.....why??? Because of the season. Your season and my season is different , don't hold yourself to someone else's standard. let God reveal the fast he wants you to do.

[@cdzulueta]

@@tryphineshumba8158 Thank you for your response Sister. This has touched my heart. I do agree with you, that our seasons indeed differ, but the Lord doesn't regard how big or little our offerings are to Him for as long as it is offered with sincere and pure love. My role as a mom can oftentimes be lonely as I don't have friends to confide my thoughts with or share it with, your kindess to respond is a blessing to me, that somebody out there cares and feels. Your words are very enlightening and timely. God bless you.

[@tryphineshumba8158]

@@cdzulueta ...Wow sis, i belive.God leade to type those words because He remembered you and he knows your heart. Please remember that Jesus is the only true friend, but pray and fast for real friends who mean you well. Continue to fast and pray. Especially for your precious children..God loves you , and being a mother is the most important career in you life. You are blessed to be a mother, don't allow the world to make you look down on motherhood. I pray God will give you revelation concerning your prayer life and He will show himself up for you..Love you my sister in Christ..❤️. Please keep going, keep putting God first and you will see his hand in your life and family's life. I am praying for Godly, loving friends for you.

[@ladyhawke858]

I fast every other day I can not eat regular bread but my fasts consist of coffee in the morning, broth and water for the rest of the day. Fast does have incredible power, it opens and clear my mind, I feel closer in my love for God and our lady.

how do you do this exactly?

[@valentinabiebie]

@@chnglna8342 Hello. There are many types of fasting. For me, I do not have my dinner for 30 days. When my fasting ends, I take a break for one week - have my meals as per normal: breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I fast, I only have my breakfast (oatmeal with milk), lunch (noodles or rice with either a cup of tea/coffee) and snacks (sometimes I don’t even eat any snacks) before 6pm. I do not have my dinner - I only drink tea or water at night if needed (after 6pm). I do not eat from 7pm until 9am. My body gets used to it after two weeks of fasting. I stopped fasting from mid of January to end of May.
