Why do Catholics fast? What did Jesus teach about fasting? Is fasting still an obligation for Catholics? RESPONSE: Fasting is a “spiritual exercise” by which we repent of our sins and strive to become more Christ-like as sons and daughters of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 1438, 2043; cf. Rom. 8:14-17). While Jesus cautioned against prideful fasting (Mt. 6:1-5, 16-18), He Himself fasted (Lk. 4:1-2) and encouraged others to do so to advance His Kingdom (Mt. 17:21). From her inception, the Church has followed Christ’s example regarding fasting. She continues to require the faithful to fast and abstain on prescribed days during Lent. ow.ly/u6IGL
