All The Best in Fasting :)

Marks the beginning of the Islamic Holy month of Ramadhan, For my moslem brother and sister all over the world, wanna wish you guys a wonderful 30 days odyssey in this fasting time, wish all the temptation has been taken away from you, for you will be a stronger, a more sensitive, and comes out as a winner in this life of pressure. Reminding how Moslem people are stressed lately after the 9/11 incident and Al-Queda problems. For I believe, in every time of life we live, God/Allah always have a great plan for all of us. Keep The Faith !! :)

Fasting serves many purposes. While people are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion as well as kinship with fellow believers.

In one of St. Peter's priceless advice: "There are three things, my brethren, which causes faith to stand firm, devotion to remain constant and virtue to endure. They are prayer, fasting and mercy. Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains and mercy receives. Prayer, mercy and fasting are one. They give life to each other."
