In this week’s episode of Double Edged Sword, '25 Down, 25 to Go,' Father Genard leads us to the midpoint of the Great Fast with a stirring call to deepen our faith. Marking 25 days of Lent completed and 25 to go, he reflects on a childhood memory to urge believers not to turn back, but to press forward in devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. This episode explores the true heart of fasting—beyond abstaining from food, it’s about privileging our mouths with prayer, our ears with God’s truth, and our lives with repentance and praise. As the Church offers the Mid-Lent Eucharistic service to cheer us onward, Father Genard challenges us to examine our fast: Have we committed wholeheartedly to Christ? If not, there’s grace for the next 25 days. Join us to refocus on the Savior’s Passion and Resurrection, finding strength in scripture, worship, and the promise of eternal life through Him who is holy, mighty, and merciful.
