Fasting: The Prayer of the Body | Homily for June 17th, 2026

About this sermon

This homily was given by Fr. Daniel Klimek, on June 17, 2026, reflecting on Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18. Fr. Daniel invites us to rediscover the beauty and power of sacrifice. When we have a real relationship with Jesus Christ, our hearts begin to change. His love softens what is hardened, heals what is wounded, and transforms the way we live. True renewal in the world begins when each of us allows Christ to renew our own heart. Fr. Daniel reminds us that fasting is a powerful path to freedom. It is more than a sacrifice — it is the prayer of the body. Through fasting, we grow closer to God, become less attached to temptation, and open our hearts to deeper conversion. When fasting is united with prayer and love, it becomes a powerful intercession for others and a beautiful offering to God. Through sacrifice, God brings renewal, conversion, and peace.
