Fasting guideline* First, invite Jesus to fast in you. This fast is a *gift,* and you need to have the desire and pray for it. *What are you allowed to eat?* *Bread -* There is no limit to the amount or the type of bread you can eat. You may have bread with seeds and sourdough, plain rice, plain porrage, polenta, arepa, and plain crackers. Sweet, cheesy bread, or bread that contains dairy products is not allowed. *Eat as often as you need* *Olive oil* - Use (plenty) of olive oil as a dip or sprinkle on your bread, rice or polenta. *Salt* - Add salt to your bread and water. Increase your salt intake slightly to prevent dehydration and cramps. *Water-* hot, cold or sparkling water *Sacrementals* - Add blessed or exorcised oil and salt to your bread daily It is essential that you *eat regularly* and *are not hungry* on this fast. Prayers* The main focus of fasting is spiritual renewal. Therefore, *three hours of prayers daily (also requested by our Lady of Medugorje) is essential.* This includes *Holy Mass** - The main food is the Holy Eucharist, so daily Mass is vital. *Holy Rosary* 📿 *Reading the bible* (Psalms and Gospel of John) *Eucharistic Adoration* *Divine Mercy chaplet* *Regular confession* *Fasting Preparation* None needed. It is a grace, and you can do it even if you have never fasted previously. You will not damage your health. Remember, man does not live on bread alone but on the real food, *Jesus , who is the bread of heaven and the word of God* . *Take your prescribed medication.* *Further information* You will experience strong internal and external opposition once you decide to fast. Therefore, it is best not to discuss your fast with others. It is a spiritual battle, remain firm, stay in prayer , as special graces are given when we pray and fast. Should you suffer from colds or fever like symptoms, continue with the fast. They are spiritual distraction aimed to stop your fast. *During the fast, you must ask for the grace of fasting each morning.** If you struggle during the day, pray Jesus fast in me.
Wow! Your experience is so strengthening to me. I have been fasting on 1 meal per day for the past several days since I heard one of the testimonies on this you tube channel. I have decided to fast on bread and water on Wednesdays and Fridays and I look forward to doing a 40 day fast at Advent or Lent whichever the Lord chooses for me - after listening to your experience, Jim. Thank you and God bless you!
Did you have diabetes and heart condition before you fasted for a year with only water? What was your health like during YOUR one-year water fast? I feel called to do a one-year+ water only fast. My doctor considers that my 70 years-old health is excellent BUT is dead set against anyone doing it 🤔 I have experience with various forms of fasting and feel that water only is my Next Step.
Do you know he just died from a Hear Attack??!!....If that's not a warning sign and you won't listen to your doctor...then there's nothing else to say!!
@@cloverfield911 he already had bypass surgery that only usually last for so long. Food does not heal the heart. It was his heart disease along with maybe prostate cancer, diabetes, etc it wasn’t because he was fasting. Those graces too fast like that only comes from our Lord

Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
Can you provide us with the times you allowed yourself to eat? God bless you and thanks!!!
There are no set times and no limit to the amount of bread you can eat. Please read fasting guidelines in the comments.
That’s amazing testimony. Did you eat bread three times a day and as much bread as you felt or was it small portions ?
God bless you
You can eat as much bread as you want and you can also have olive oil. Ask your priest to bless the oil and salt for you and use it daily.

Sir did you do this at medjugorie?
I bought honey wheat bread but some recipes use milk sigh
Best to bake flat breads at home. Simple, fast and delicious
