The Church gives us Epiphany at the threshold of the year to remind us that Christmas is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of a mission.

Women enter the new year determined that this will be the time things finally change, especially around weight loss, food, and self-control.

If your fasting plan tends to fall apart in the late afternoon or evening, you’re not weak—and you’re not alone.

Spiritual fasting helps detach us from habits that distract us and draws us closer to Christ, especially through the Eucharist and Confession.

Movement is obedience. Feasting in moderation is worship. Prayer transforms habit into holiness.

The Christmas season can disrupt even the strongest routines and the swirl of events, sugar, and chaos can feel like a tug-of-war between celebration and self-control.
