Wanted: Serious Catholics
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.“
– John 14:26
Lent is not a symbolic season—it is spiritual warfare. In a world overwhelmed by moral confusion, distraction, and deep spiritual fatigue, the Church gives us forty days to reset our hearts and reorder our lives. If you have felt spiritually comfortable yet inwardly unsettled, this Lent may be the invitation you have been waiting for.
In Episode #170 of The Delay and Pray Podcast, we explore why Catholics must move beyond the bare minimum of Lenten fasting and embrace a more disciplined spiritual life. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of a desert journey patterned after Christ’s forty days of fasting, and this episode challenges listeners to fast every Wednesday and Friday with one full meal and two smaller meals. We discuss how simple, nourishing food, eliminating unnecessary comforts, and uniting hunger to prayer can deepen your relationship with Jesus and Our Lady while strengthening your spiritual resilience.
This episode covers the biblical importance of Lent, the power of traditional fasting practices, the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding us into truth, and practical ways to engage fully in parish life during this penitential season. When fasting becomes prayer, it becomes transformative. The world may feel dark, but deserts are where saints are formed.
