Jesus teaches About fasting, almsgiving, and prayer
Fasting • At the proper time, empty to be filled by God, emptied of distractions and satisfied feeling; go without in solidarity with those who have no choice in being hungry, go without so you can share what you have
Almsgiving • charity, sharing with those who are in need, be generous
Prayer • Jesus teaches us to pray: • Lord’s Prayer or Our Father, • he gives us good example of prayer: • alone, with meals, with miracles, in groups, with honesty • in praise and thanksgiving, in need for self and others, in forgiveness
All major religions have these components: fasting, almsgiving, and prayer
