'''Welcome to "Fast Fridays,"''' weekly gathering by videoconference for reminder that God is in our life -- even on a Friday evening.
 
We will take thirty minutes Fridays 6:00-6:30 to refresh, enliven and re-dedicate ourselves to God.
 
It is "fast" because we will spend no more than 30 minutes, and because your host, Michael Bromley, fasts on Fridays.

* The discussions are not apologetics -- we're not here to argue or defend one belief or another; we are here to celebrate the faith we bring to one another
* The discussions are not catechism; but they will be led by my experience and point of view as a Catholic.
* Here for where the idea came from: [[Fast Fridays: 30 Minutes for God/How it got started|Fast Fridays: How it got started]]
* Fasting serves as a penance for sins, reminder of our dependance upon God, and to "help us acquire mastery over our instincts" ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/496/ CCC 2043]).

It is "fast" because we will spend no more than 30 minutes, and because your host, Michael Bromley, fasts on Fridays. 
 
Fasting serves as a penance for sins, reminder of our dependance upon God, and to "help us acquire mastery over our instincts and freedom of heart" ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/496/ CCC 2043]).
