Fasting is important. As Jesus states below, some prayer requires fasting. Yet, it's not a regular practice of most Catholic women. In this video I share what the requirements of the Church are today, as well as why, and how, we can fast as Catholic mothers.

Precepts of the Catholic Church
1. To go to Mass and refrain from servile work on Sundays and holy days
2. To go to Confession at least once a year (traditionally done during Lent)
3. To receive the Eucharist at least once a year, during the Easter Season (known as the “Easter duty”)
4. To observe the days of fasting and abstinence
5. To help to provide for the needs of the Church according to one’s abilities and station in life
6. To obey the marriage laws of the Church

ABOUT ME
My name is Laura and I am a mom to two energetic kids. We are a military family and I homeschool too! Our Catholic faith is very important to us so everything on here will be addressed from a Catholic slant: homeschooling, parenting, marriage, minimalism, homemaking, and anything else. I also have a huge heart for apologetics and helping people discover the truth in Catholicism so that's a big part of this channel too. I hope to see you in the comments and please feel free to email me privately with thoughts or questions. God bless!
