Quote to SHARE by St Thomas Aquinas for Lent - “Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit....quenches the fire of lust, kindles the true light of chastity.”

 

“Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, kindles the true light of chastity.” 

St. Thomas Aquinas.
