Our Morning Offering – 22 February – The Glory of These Forty Day

The Glory of These Forty Days By St Gregory the Great (540-604) Pope, Father and Doctor of the Church The glory of these forty days we celebrate with songs of praise, for Christ, by Whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. Alone and fasting Moses saw the loving God Who gave the law. And to Elijah, fasting, came the steed and chariots of flame.
