I want to fast for the conversion of my wife. I started a 54 Day Rosary Novena for the intentions of my marriage. Blessed Mother, pray for us.
Do it. The Rosary and fasting together.
@@gabiafterhours How do I fast? I want to fast every day but I’m not sure which method to go with, I’m thinking bread and water fast but I’m not sure.
God Bless !
I will do the same for my husband, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
I found liberation in the basic fasting Wednesday & Fridays as Our lady requested. Don’t tell anyone you’re fasting, pray to The Holy Spirit especially and your good Guardian Angel constantly. They’ll help you with this “urge” to eat everything set before you. So just model yourself after Daniel in the book of Daniel. The Holy Spirit enlightened my mind about food and I follow these disciplines to this day! So, maybe just hide yourself in the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts and you’ll ascend the mountain and stay your ground in the Spirit. Also getting rid of your television 📺 and purifying all your senses is helpful. Immensely helpful. Courage!
Yes👏! Wednesdays and Fridays I do crusty bread or toast and sparking water/ or just water. It wasn't that hard. My taste buds appreciated tastes after. I will stay with this, as I have a prayer life.
🙏✝️👋💐
Hi , do you was fasting by bread and water all day or like Gabriel presents it in the video?
@@patrycjaojczyk1986
Breakfast, lunch and dinner I have bread or plain toasted. Nothing but bread and water.
If you have a bad day, its the hardest challenge tho.😖
@Angelina Friscia how did you fast?
Ah, please pray for me😢 I just bought an Xbox a week ago ago and a headset is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. M friend and I started a Marian consecration on Mother’s Day though. I have great hope in the consecrations power.
Let us not forget, when we suffer, the headaches, the hunger pains, etc. to also offer it up to our Lord Jesus Christ.
And to the Holy Souls to Purgatory 🙏
Fasting doesn't change God's heart. It changes ours. It gives our spirits dominance over our flesh.
Absolutely!!!!
Gluttony is hard because we have so much food available and I’ve also heard from Dr Marshall that its also nor just abstaining from eating but gluttony also means a desire for dainty or specially prepared food. So if the food is not salty enough or its not the perfectly spiced or not the perfect temperature and texture and so on.
Good job Gabi. I began intermittent fasting one year ago, but only when I connected it with rosary before Easter our heavenly Mother freed me of my addiction. Our blessed heavenly Mother is now often in my thoughts and I am her thankful son again.
YES!!!!!! When we give both prayer and fasting to Our Lady... she is able to work more freely in our lives. Thank you for your testimony!!!
Awesome thank you for sharing. That is awesome you have broken free from those chains by the graces of our Holy Mother Mary. God bless you!

I started fasting for health reasons I'm diabetic, and found myself more spiritual and I discovered the rosary I'm now discovering my Catholicism
Yesterday I went to da Latin mass for da first time. I remember walkin in and I seen da altar boys carrying da cross, it felt so surreal. I remember how badly I craved da Holy Eucharist when I saw da priest givin dem to da people. I got papers to fill out, and soon to be Christened😁
Brilliant, wellcome home
Welcome home
That is so great my brother!
I will continue to pray for you and your loved ones.
God bless,

This video is so incredibly helpful! My father has been fasting every Wed and Friday for several years now. When I was a lost sheep I used to think it was cool but always shrugged it off like “I could never.” Now as a born again Catholic, he has called me to consider fasting. I’ve been growing closer to God since my conversion, whenever I thought of fasting this gulp in my throat formed. I’ve always had such poor discipline. Still struggling with it. Anyway, I decided today on Wednesday I want to fast. For God. But only on hour 3 I started getting hungry and like the video suggested I started making excuses in my head and that’s when I searched for this video. I also started thinking how this might help me fit better into my wedding dress in 7 months and felt so guilty for having ulterior motives. I thought what’s the point, if I’m not doing it for God, why do it at all. But obviously that was my weak mind giving up and making excuses again. Hearing that it’s ok for our minds to have those ulterior motives, solidified my decision to go through with it. I hope to do this every Wednesday and eventually every Wednesday and Friday. My father is incredibly close with our Lord. And despite having an extremely difficult life, his trust in God has lifted him and never failed him. I pray that I can get this far in my relationship with God ♥️ May God bless you all!
Love this. I've been fasting for health reasons and vanity, but I always forget the spiritual merits of fasting. Thank you for this timely reminder!
I used to do that too but it's really not fasting it's dieting. They are so different.
Yay! Just finished attending The TLM! Was about to waste my time watching other videos, and then... this video!
I've always been struggling with gluttony.
God saved me once again Through His Immaculate Mother!
May God bless you and May The Immaculate Heart be our Refuge!
I too am struggling with gluttony. I am unable to fast also bcoz my gastric disorder. Mama Mary, Pls 🙏🏼 help me to do fasting 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@manorama12 Amen!
Manorama, I will pray. Start by trying to replace sugar. I have found when you get rid of sugar, breads, pastas, rice, etc. for just 3 days that helps to kick the habit and you can restart clean. Just my observation. Mary be with you!!!
I thank God for giving us YOU and this channel...You are a true blessing!!
I used to fast all Wednesdays and Fridays on bread and water for some time. But lately I've been weak and not able to fast properly.
Your video came in good time, I will get back to fasting again with the help of our Blessed Mother.
Greetings from Brazil,
Salve Maria Imaculada!
I did as well, last year most of the year Wednesday and Friday, this year not much at all, I will come back to it immediately.
I am trying to fast and I get headaches.
Me too! Because of this video, I will start again!
🙏Amem.
@@relletolentino9391 I think the key is to keep doing it anyway through prayer, unless it is really bad and debilitating. In that case, maybe you need to consult your physician. If your doctor tells you you can't fast, you can't fast (as in not eat) but there are other methods of mortifying our passions when it comes to food outside of this. If it is debilitating and you cannot consult your doctor, perhaps try some of these methods instead.
But if it's just a mild headache I'd think that is relatively normal.
Thank YOU! This is a timely talk. It has taken me a long time to fast. I wanted too, but I was weak. I had gained weight due to stress and my sister's stage 4 cancer. I started giving in to all of her cravings. 3 years and 40 lbs later, I realized my willpower was gone. I started watching Dr. Fung. I wanted to fast with my prayers but my willpower was low. 3 months ago, I gave up sugar, did 16:8 and the weight fell off. My guilt was that it was not pure for the Lord. Now, my willpower from fasting is stronger, and I give it all to GOD! Thanks for this. I love fasting for the Lord!
YES! YES! YES! I love Dr. Fung. I am going to pin your testimony to the top. It is a great witness to the truth that God's ways are the best ways! Keep it up. Mary be with you!
Pin it Gabi👍🏾
This is just what I needed to hear, im a massage therapist who knows of all the benifits of fasting and yet I never do it except for fridays. This is a good time to practice what I preach to help save souls
AMEN! You got this. With and in Mary anything is possible.
Try the Wednesday & Friday ( recommend at Fatima & Medjugorje)and ask Our Lady for Grace’s to prevail and you will go from strength to strength! You’ll see! I’m putting you in my Eternal prayer basket. Courage!
@@Angelina6518 I started last week and so far so good by Gods grace. Ive had amazing results at my work with people coming up to me and asking me about the Faith. Keep strong and keep fasting we need to do this to save souls
@@Angelina6518 hey Angelina add me to the prayer list please. :) i was thinking of fasting before i went to sleep. i woke up and this was the first video I click. Wednesday and Friday it is.
@@Angelina6518 add me too😄 I just commented on fasting on Wed & Fri on bread n water like Our Lady requested to a previous post b4 I came to ur post. The trouble is I'm not very successful at putting it into practice - oh well onward & upwards🤞🙏🙏
Thank you for this, I wasn't taught anything about fasting in my RCIA class, which only consisted of watching the Catholicism dvd set by Bishop Barron. I wasn't very impressed. I did my own study using the Baltimore Catechism and videos like yours have helped me to enrich myself.
Also look for mortification and penance to offer to Jesus Christ in reparations for sins. God bless.
Good on you for continuing your learning on your own! May our Good Lord be wirh you always!
Amen
Sounds like you were hungry for more like Fr Don Calloway. Check out his conversion story on RUclips. God bless you!
I am also going through the Baltimore Catechism, and have learned so much. I bought level 3, the one for high school students, to make it easier and so I can understand it. I will then go through the one for adults.
Whether you are religious or not. Fasting once a week and spending time remembering those that have nothing is humbling and reminds you of your luck in life
Wow...isn't it amazing how God provides us the words we need to hear through our brothers and sisters? Thank you as I stumbled across this video and it was exactly what I needed to hear!
Absolutely!!
Just in time as I am starting a long fast tomorrow.
YES! Our Lady is always timing things well! God bless you and Mary be with you always.
@@gabiafterhours Amen
I hope you are able to persist and receive many graces.
I'm starting toomrow
I have been fasting on Wednesdays and Friday but sometimes, I work for 12h on those days. Well today, I was working. Anyway, I saw one of your fasting videos the night before and was really mentally preparing myself for today. My job is physical and sometimes, when I am working and fasting, I get bad headaches and a little shakey cuz I don't always have a chance to drink water. So today, I wasn't sure if I would be able to fast the way I wanted to fast. I went to noon mass and the Gospel and homely spoke about fasting! I thanked the Holy Spirit for giving me that extra confidence to push through because I was thinking about eating my soup for lunch. Thank you Gabe!
Is there a historical source that discusses fasting year round on Wednesday and Friday? I’m trying to find something for my family
Thanks for this video. I've been thinking a lot about fasting & this video was very encouraging. I have went back to observing meatless (vegetarian) Fridays & no deserts except on Sundays or birthdays. I have also given up all alcohol for about 5 years now. I offer these things up for the church, my sins & the sins of the world.
Wow! That was some video. Ways to fight the devil is my priority lately. I practice fasting but has to perfect it for penance. I learned something huge from listening to Fr.Mark Goring’s reading from the book “Mariam of Bethlehem” that, what hurts the devil most is humility and obedience. Remember, Satan fell due to his pride and envy towards the Creator and Savior of the world. I myself bought the book and is almost done with the book. A lot to learn from that book on a life pleasing to God. Thank you for this very important reminder. May God Bless you and all your listeners to be blessed through fasting!
I’m getting ready to start week 4 of one-meal-a-day fasting - incl all day Fri. but not at all on Sundays. So far it’s been all about my health. Thanks for the encouragement to add the spiritual dimension!
how is it going?
This IF video is so good. It give us hunger on our temporal body towards to our hunger with God’s words.
Excellent video!! 👏👏 Been waiting for this one. Great tips! 🙏 We need to fast more.
My friend! You are such a light. God bless you and the incredible work you are doing. Mary be with you always!!!!
Hmmm, it looks like the re- mix of the new age and catholicism is on the way...and it could swipe "a lot of the stars"
Yes, because when you leave Lent, I have never wanted to just dive into holiday food. It doesn’t feel good to be on this 40 day minimalist journey, and then on Sunday or a feast day, roll of the wagon. And, at work, we had to change the way we rewarded ourselves. As preschool teachers we would by those doughnuts and sweets for each other, but we started to rethink our choices, now we by oranges, flavored water, and skinny pop❤ We feel much better 💕
Thank you for this video, it was awesome ❤
Thanks for this wonderful Video brother Gabriel.
May God , bless you abundantly
I've done spiritual fasting and I've done nutritional fasting. The idea of combining them gives me great great joy.
I tried fasting over and over …..and failed UNTIL I ADDED SALT TO MY WATER……NOW I CAN GO A WHOLE DAY WITHOUT FOOD AND DON’T EVEN CARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P. S. I find drinking coffee causes more problems because of its acidic affects.
Thankyou for sharing, very helpful. 😊
Thank you for this post!
Awesome presentation. Thank you.
Thank you I needed this
This was fantastic! Thank you!
Wed and Fri fast, year round with proper sacramental/devotional life. It will kill vice and grow virtue. Dr Richards book Eat, Pray, Fast was helpful for me. Fiat!
Great video. Thankyou!
This is just what I needed! thank you so much!
Excellent video - and timely! Many thanks, and God bless your ministry!
Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video. God bless you and Mary be with you on this special day.
God Bless you Gabi! Thank you!

Great video❤ Inspirational ✝️
Thank you so much for this amazing video! So needed this motivation! God bless you and your work!
Thank you for sharing. I have started to do this and will continue.
Very inspiring and informative video! Thanks so much for sharing this information with us
Thank you Gabi.
Dear Gabriel, thank you for making this video. I am a very health compromised person. I cannot fast. I was very encouraged to hear you talk about giving up the sweet stuff and that it counts as fasting. It was good to see you on air again.
Beautiful message, I needed to hear this today, just subscribed, may God bless you 🙏
Thanks Gabi, very informative, and you make it so simple.
Excellent, thank you 🙏🏼
This video helped me SO MUCH. Especially the words of encouragement at the end. Thank you!💕
Incredible Vlog Gabriel! This has helped me So Much!
Many Thanks!
Thank you that was helpful. I am going to give it a try.
I’m very thankful for your videos. 🙏🏼
God bless you and your family always
Thank you for this video. I struggle with emotional eating and binge eating. I told myself that fasting from food was off limits since it can trigger binge eating.
However, I am starting to believe it’s a lie I am telling myself . I truly believe fasting is powerful enough to allow God to deliver me from this strong addiction and dysfunctional behavior pattern. I’ve worked with therapists and come far but I believe what remains is a spiritual thing. I’ve also seen how my weakness with food spills into other areas where discipline is needed and where discomfort is inescapable. I will watch this video a few more times and pray about guidance on how my fasting can look for this and so many other special intentions.
Thank you for this video and for all the good content
Fasting is like a super power from God. Sugar and processed foods are addictions that play games with our minds. Start small and progress. I would recommend trying to go 3 days with no sugar and no simple carbs... that in itself will be very difficult. Then when you are no longer sugar dependent... fasting will be easier.
Thank you 🙏 Gabriel for this video. God bless you and your family.
Well done. Thank you.
Gabi never fails to inspire me 🔥 God bless!
Great video
Thank you so much 🌹💜🙏
Watching from Malaysia. Thanks Gabi!!
Your videos are so well produced!
I appreciate you noticing. Mary be praised. She wants the best we can do. Mary be with you!!!
Wonderful! Thank you! 😃😊❤🙏
Fasting helps me literally live in the Lord’s realm. So comforting and revealing especially during quiet time in God’s presence and prayer or reading God’s Word, many prayers and direction obtained by fasting. Alleluia ❤️🔥🕊✝️
So true. Good talk. This is the way. Thank you for speaking Truth.
Thanks brother gabi for explaining us .God bless you 🙌🙌🙂🙏
LOVE this video!!!! I do the Flame of Love fasting.
16/8 is a great choice. This is a great video!
YES! I love your support. Thank you so much. 16/8 is a great way to start.
Thank You for this
Thanks, Gabe! I’m going to pray and fast this week.
Thank you so much. I got a lot from this video. Pax Christi
Thank you for this, I’m gonna try this out for lent
Thank you for inspiring reminding and teaching us our faith.
You are so welcome. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Thank you so much Gabi for this video. Tomorrow our church youth are going to have fasting and your video really inspires me.
Great video, good points and easy to understand.....very helpful for us to know what to do and do it right when we intend to fast.
Thank you! This really helps me. I'm looking forward to my fast. This was a great Kickstart video. I'm grateful for you.
Thank you for big motivated videos ...Its so encouraging to watch ur video's ...
I just heard about intermediate fasting and have been looking into fasting in general. Thank you for this video!!
Another great video Gabriel. Thank you. Your a true warrior for our blessed virgin and her request to pray rosary and fast.
Amen and again I say Amen thank you mate found this very helpful have always struggle with fasting but am going to give it a try after watching this VERY helpful and positive down to earth video. God bless you and yours
Great video!👍Informative, sensible, and i like how you connected fasting to our Catholic faith. Thanks for inspiring me to get back on the 18-6 saddle. God bless you.😊
Thanks for this video as well as providing more information. May God bless you in your work.
So nice of you! It is an honor to be able to do it.
As a former boxer I understand the benefits of fasting to get ready for a fight. I do different spiritual fasting but my favorite and works for me is two slices of white or whole wheat bread with a cup of water for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I attend Mass and receive communion on those days. I start my fasting at 12 midnight and have a regular meal after 12 midnight. Salad with vegetables because you don't want to anything heavy when you go to bed. So for example
It's 12:00 am. My fasting has started. I go to bed and wake up at 6am I pray the Angelus and the rest of my Catholic morning prayers and the rosary and then I eat two slices of bread 🥪 and a cup of water. Then at 12 in the afternoon I pray the Angelus again accompany by the rosary and I'll read a chapter or two of the Gospels and then I eat two slices of bread and a cup of water. And then at 4 I'll do some other prayers, usually I do the Chaplet of divine mercy at 3 and by 4 I just eat two slices of bread and a cup of water again and that would be my last meal for the day until 12 00 midnight. And like I said I go to mass at 7:30 and receive communion that's really my last meal until midnight.
And that's how I became a saint😇😁🤣😂🤣. Just kidding 😉 lol. But if your beginner don't do it the way I do it. Start small like a portion of oatmeal or a cup of fruits with some water and have a regular lunch and dinner. You have to built yourself up little by little. God bless everyone
That was a great explanation. Thanks for posting. Also many congrats on the improvement in the technical quality of your videos. Well done!
That means so much to me. You are a brother in Our Lady. God bless you! Mary be with you.
Amazing job on this video. That is the best video on fasting from the standpoint of our faith and healthwise. I'm ready for Lent. Thank you and God bless. I feel ready for Lent.
Very good content for Catholics.. God Bless
I really need this kind of motivation.. thanks bro. Gabi for making this video.
Praise be Jesus & Mary now & forever 🙏🙏🙏
Great video on intermittent fasting, thanks. Everyone should do it.
Thank you God bless🙏💕
I used to watch your early videos and remember how devoted you were to the rosary. I have wondered where you were and today you turn up in my RUclips selections! God bless.
Your my favorite Catholic teacher Gabi, next to Vigano of course. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do, your faith, and devotion.🕊🌈
I like his videos too, but my favorite is dr Pitre Brant, fr Casey, Bishop Baron, fr Mike Schmidt and sensus fidelium with the exorcist Fr Chad Ripperger.
Love another exorcist called Vincent Lampert.
