Listen "Feasting vs. Binging"
Episode Synopsis
Happy Easter! We have officially entered into the Easter Octave, and Beth is encouraging all of her listeners to stop delaying and to enter fully into this time of feasting. But wait! She said feasting: Not binging. What’s the difference? You’re about to find out.“Try redefining Feasting for yourself. Your life will change immensely.” - Beth BubikBeth begins this episode warmly applauding your Lenten journey, and reassuring you that God is pleased with all of your efforts, even if they weren’t “perfect.” She also discusses the deep significance of this Octave of feasting in the Church, and gives her listeners a better understanding of the complementarity of fasting and feasting. But what is feasting? Feasting is “to dwell with gratification or delight,” and “to eat sumptuously.” Doesn’t sound like drive-thru burgers, does it? Binging, on the other hand, is to “indulge in an activity, such as eating to excess.” It seems counterintuitive to eat to excess while feasting for Christ, doesn’t it? In order to guide your feasting, Beth suggests having a Feasting Plan. Consider going to Mass daily and Adoration frequently during the OctaveRead the Acts of the ApostlesCook amazing meals that are appealing and satisfying, and eat to enoughPlan fun activities with family and friendsEnjoy the beauty of natureLook for the good, the true, and the beautifulDo some research into Church teachingsAnd finally, be patient with yourself - learning to place God at the center of our feasting and fasting takes time.
