LENTEN PRAYER: FAST FROM AND FEAST ON . . .

Lent is a season that calls us:
to fast from discontent and to feast on gratitude;
to fast from anger and to feast on patience;
to fast from bitterness and to feast on forgiveness;
to fast from self-concern and to feast on compassion; 
to fast from discouragement and to feast on hope;
to fast from laziness and to feast on commitment;
to fast from complaining and to feast on acceptance;
to fast from lust and to feast on respect;
to fast from prejudice and to feast on understanding;
to fast from resentment and to feast on reconciliation;
to fast from lies and to feast on the truth;
to fast from wasted time and to feast on honest work;
to fast from grimness and to feast on joy;
to fast from suspicion and to feast on trust;
to fast from idle talk and to feast on prayer and silence;
to fast from guilt and to feast on the mercy of God.
(Based on a version often attributed to William Arthur Ward)

ayunar de la ira y deleitarse con la paciencia;
ayunar de la amargura y deleitarse con el perdón;
ayunar desde la preocupación por uno mismo y deleitarse en la compasión;
ayunar del desaliento y deleitarnos en la esperanza;
ayunar por la pereza y deleitarse con el compromiso;
ayunar de las quejas y deleitarse con la aceptación;
ayunar de la lujuria y deleitarse con el respeto;
ayunar de los prejuicios y deleitarse con la comprensión;
ayunar del resentimiento y deleitarse con la reconciliación;
ayunar de la mentira y deleitarse con la verdad;
ayunar del tiempo perdido y deleitarse con el trabajo honesto;
ayunar de la tristeza y deleitarse con la alegría;
ayunar de la sospecha y deleitarse con la confianza;
ayunar de las conversaciones ociosas y deleitarse con la oración y el silencio;
ayunar de la culpa y deleitarnos en la misericordia de Dios.
