Fasting to Feasting with Great Joy
“Dying’s all I do till I come alive in You.”
– Saint John of the Cross
Easter has arrived—but what happens after the celebration? So many women move from forty days of discipline straight into overindulgence, losing the very freedom they fought for during Lent. If you’ve ever felt that tension between wanting to celebrate and not wanting to fall back into old habits, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Delay and Pray Podcast, we step into the beauty of the Easter Octave and the fifty days of Easter as a sacred invitation—not just to celebrate, but to feast rightly. You’ll hear how the Church has always given us a rhythm of fasting and feasting, and why true joy isn’t found in excess but in ordered desire. We talk about how the world has distorted celebration into overconsumption, and how you can reclaim a deeply Catholic approach to food, freedom, and joy through intentional feasting rooted in Christ.
This episode walks through the difference between gluttony and true feasting, how to approach food with reverence and moderation, and why the Delay and Pray method restores both body and soul. You’ll also discover how feasting goes far beyond food and into the fullness of life in Christ. It’s time to stop swinging between extremes and start living the rhythm you were created for.
