Shalom World – Fasting & Prayer – 1st August to 21st August 2020

Dear Friend in Christ,

May the peace and joy of the Lord reign in your hearts especially during this time

Even though we are unable to gather together physically due to coronavirus, Shalom continues to have programs to strengthen faith and give hope in dark times. In the current situation of the pandemic, Shalom ministry has taken an initiative to do the Daniel fasting prayer to implore the Lord Almighty.

Daniel fasting – 21 days spiritual journey with prayers and sacrifices from Aug 1st to Aug 21st – is the deliberate and intentional dedication to focus on God and humbling oneself in the presence of almighty God. We do this with the same fervour and urgency shown by prophet Daniel for his people and nation. Expecting a great manifestation of God’s power upon the current pandemic, we lift our hands and hearts to the Lord for supernatural breakthroughs in our lives and in the world.

“I ate no savoury food, took no meat or wine, and did not anoint myself at all until the end of the three weeks” (Daniel 10:3)

Fr. Roy Varghese Palatty CMI (Spiritual Director, Shalom Media) will be leading this initiative.

We welcome you to join us in this prayer and share this message with as many people as possible, so that tens of thousands all over the world can join together in unison calling upon our Abba, Father and seeking his mercy and grace.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
