Thought for Friday March 8

A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
For you are not pleased with sacrifices;
should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

Matthew 9: 14 – 15  The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

Do I fast and abstain?  If so, does it help me appreciate Jesus?

Action: Abstain in solidarity with the worldwide church.
