The Forty Days Of Fasting Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Forty Days Of Fasting

Rating: 5.0


Trusting in you
and your closeness
I begin the forty days
of repentance,
just as Jesus spent
forty days in the desert.

Give me the strength
to understand this
time as a chance,
an opportunity to
find each other.

Give me an eye
for what's important to you.

Help me to do the good
with determination.

I want to start afresh
creating a new life for me.

Help me to know
what our fellow human
beings need, very specially
the poor in our society.


(The time of fasting for forty days begins for Christians now)
