Archdiocese Of St. Paul And Minneapolis issued the following announcement on Feb. 25. 

In a homily from Pope Francis, we hear about how fasting should never be boastful or prideful as that defeats its purpose. We should fast instead with a smile and humility, with the goal of helping others. 

The Holy Father also urged that fasting should include reflection on and remedy of “one’s behaviors and one’s treatment of others, particularly of those who are in need.” Read the full article about Pope Francis’ commentary on Lenten fasting: https://bit.ly/TCSLentFasting
