What things do you treasure? In what things do you delight? What does this tell about you?

I treasure quiet moments with Jesus...I long to see Him - I think I dream of Him sometimes - and I treasure the memory of a dream of Him. I delight in spending as much time as I can praying - talking to Him (cause I know He hears me) - I delight in taking His name and laying myself open to Him - leaving my life in His Hands. Well I guess it makes me spiritual - with a great yearning for my Jesus - my Merciful Saviour.

What is so good about fasting? Why fast?

Food is necessary for the body to live. Fasting causes the body discomfort and it takes will power to abstain from food. Fasting if done for spiritual reasons strengthens the will and determination to offer to God an act of penance - an attempt to make retribution for offences committed against God. It enlightens the spiritual mind and draws the soul closer to God -and it creates a yearning for greater union with God. Even Jesus went on fast for forty days when he wanted to spend time with His Father and to pray for man.

What makes it so difficult to love our enemies? Bonus Question: What happens when we love our enemies?

It is very difficult to love our enemies as we constantly think of the injustices meted out to us, and also we attribute all our suffering to our enemies attitudes. By forgiving them and loving them we can find peace of mind for ourselves and live a life God would like us to live being an example to others.
