DANIEL FASTING – 2021
Dec 1 to Dec 21

Daniel fasting – 21 days spiritual journey with prayers and sacrifices – is the deliberate and intentional dedication to focus on God and humbling oneself in the presence of almighty God. We do this with the same fervor and urgency shown by the prophet Daniel for his people and nation.

The final battle has begun! It is a battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan over marriage and family, and the Holy Church. Lifting hands and hearts together, let us beg for the mercy of the Almighty God. You will see His glory shine forth on your families and the Church during the days of fasting prayer.

“I ate no savory food, took no meat or wine, and did not anoint myself at all until the end of the three weeks” (Daniel 10:3)
