I stopped Writing Advent Devotionals here but they are on the other website. There were too many Hateful People and Trolls on the Forum here who were undoing my work, attacking my faith and letting their inner hatred show forth, as opposed to the Light of Christ's love. SO I will be posting Advent devotionals, but not on this website.

Very sorry for your bad experience.

Man, you guys are slow. We've been in Advent for two weeks already! There are those on the Old Calendar who started yesterday, but they won't be ending the fast until they celebrate Nativity on January 7th

You guys are hard core!

You guys are hard core!

Fasting is only beneficial if done for the right reasons, and there is a very real danger of falling into spiritual pride if not, but I really wish you guys could rediscover the "tools" which have been largely taken away from you over the centuries.

We fast. But not like you all do.

That's what I'm talking about. Rome used to fast like we all do.

Well that’s not something I know a lot about between the two Churches.
