“Every day there are attacks against the Most Holy Virgin in many ways,” noted Father Manuel Navarro. Two priests who experienced firsthand recent acts of desecration at the Medjugorje Shrine and a Mexican parish have addressed the issue of how Catholics should best respond to such acts. When asked how to respond to such attacks, Navarro said he felt the statement released by the parish that day rightly identified three key elements: prayer, fasting, and forgiveness. Secondly, Navarro added that “fasting makes us humble,” an attitude that counters the temptation to believe ourselves “superior to others.” This story was first published by ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.
