ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP: Fast to Feast Our Lenten fasting makes sense only when we keep in mind its purpose of uniting us more fully with Christ and our sisters and brothers. Consider fasting this week from some time spent on computer, TV, phone, etc. to feasting on the presence of God found in His creation. Whether observing from your window or from being outdoors, take time each day to notice the beauties of the ice crystals, your "winter neighbors" of fur and feather, the trees when they seem to say nothing, etc. "To see as God’s sees" invites us to inhabit God’s world, to notice it, to cherish it. Enjoy the feasting with all your senses and give praise to the Creator.
