At our Ash Wednesday service, the Rev Martin Saunders included in his sermon the following reflection on fasting from Pope Francis:Fast from hurting words and say kind wordsFast from sadness and be filled with gratitudeFast from anger and be filled with patienceFast from pessimism and be filled with hopeFast from worries and have trust in GodFast from complaints and contemplate simplicityFast from pressures and be prayerfulFast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joyFast from selfishness and be compassionate to othersFast from grudges and be reconciledFast from words and be silent so that you can listen
