Ignatius, bishop of Antioch and disciple of John the Apostle. (martyred AD 108), Despise not the period of forty days, for it comprises an imitation of the conduct of the Lord. After the week of the passion, do not neglect to fast on the fourth and sixth days, distributing at the same time of your abundance to the poor. If anyone fasts on the Lord’s Day or on the Sabbath, except on the paschal Sabbath only, he is a murderer of Christ.
Thanks for the simple tutorial. Short but powerful. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Glen. That was such a helpful and hopeful understanding of the Lenten season. You’ve offered wisdom and teaching as alway.

“Afflict ourselves as it says in Leviticus”? A very pious sounding defense of a very unbiblical teaching.
