0:25Now PlayingAsh Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent—a season of repentance, renewal, and spiritual battle. And tomorrow night, we continue that journey with a powerful new episode of Living Divine Mercy titled “Fasting.”
In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains a hard but freeing truth: if you are unable to say no to someone or something, then in a real sense you are enslaved to that person or thing. Fasting trains the soul in freedom. It strengthens the will. It reorders desire. It reminds us that we belong to God—not to our appetites, habits, or attachments.
Jesus Himself tells us that some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting (see Mark 9:29). That means fasting is not just a diet or a seasonal challenge. It is spiritual warfare. It is cooperation with grace. It is a weapon placed in the hands of the faithful.
As Lent begins today, the Church calls us to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—not as empty ritual, but as a path to deeper conversion. This episode helps us understand why the discipline matters and how it leads to true interior freedom.
📺 Airs tomorrow, Thursday at 10pm ET
📡 On EWTN
💻 Available on demand after on DivineMercyPlus.org and our YouTube channel
If you want this Lent to be more than “giving something up,” start here. Freedom begins with learning to say no—so that you can finally say yes to God.
