“Fasting is the soul of prayer, almsgiving is the lifeblood of fasting. Let no one try to separate them; they cannot be separated. If you have only one of them or not all together, you have nothing. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others you open God’s ear to yourself.”
– Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor
The Optional Memorial of Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor of the Church (380 – 450) is July 30.
