'''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 fasts on Fridays. We fast on Fridays to recognize the absence of God on Good Friday.   
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]).
