EWTN Global Catholic Network @EWTN - Join us in this worldwide fast on October 22. Why? Because Pope St. John Paul II said you should.
In his encyclical “The Gospel of Life,” JPII wrote:
“…a great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer. Jesus himself has shown us by his own example that prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil (cf. Mt 4:1-11). As he taught his disciples, some demons cannot be driven out except in this way (cf. Mk 9:29). Let us therefore discover anew the humility and the courage to pray and fast so that power from on high will break down the walls of lies and deceit: the walls which conceal from the sight of so many of our brothers and sisters the evil of practices and laws which are hostile to life. May this same power turn their hearts to resolutions and goals inspired by the civilization of life and love.” (Evangelism Vitae, 100)
He was referring especially to the horror of abortion. Decades later, we are still surrounded by a culture of death. The tragic bloodshed this year, and the shocking contempt for human life has made it increasingly clear that demons are very real. And Christians everywhere are rising up, realizing we must do more. When the heroes of salvation history (Moses, Esther, Ninevah, Daniel, Our Lord Himself) were confronted with demonic strongholds, they turned to prayer AND fasting. Let us do the same.
If your health permits, you can join the many who will be drinking water only! Others might add bread, or stick to the standard fast and abstinence practiced by Catholics on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (1 full meal, 2 small meals that together ≠ 1 full meal). Sacrifice more than you want to, that’s the key!
"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self." - St. Mother Teresa
“The devil is much afraid of fasting, prayer, humility, and good works.” - St. John Vianney

Antifa isn’t a protest movement, it’s a domestic terrorist organization.
The media can pretend otherwise. We won’t.
