Fasting, Reparation, Gold and Silver – Ways to Protect your Family
The first Christians fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays as a normal part of discipleship. It was not extreme. It was expected. Drew Mason argues that fasting has been largely forgotten—but it is essential for spiritual warfare. “You can pray all you want,” he says, “but you have to fast.” Prayer and fasting, together with reparation and devotion to the Immaculate Heart, are the tools the Church has always given for protection in times of crisis.
The ancient practice is not just spiritual. It is practical. Mason draws on the messages of Fatima to argue that families must seek God’s protection through prayer, fasting, and the First Saturdays. The crisis in the Church and the world demands a response that is both supernatural and concrete.
But protection is not only spiritual. Mason warns that global debt, record margin borrowing, and elevated stock market valuations resemble conditions that preceded previous financial downturns. Central banks are buying gold. U.S. bond prices are declining. Families should consider physical gold and silver as hedges against systemic financial risk.
The message is unified: protect your family on every front. Fasting for the soul. Precious metals for the household. The ancient practices of the Church and the ancient store of value in gold. The faithful are called to be prudent—in prayer and in planning. The crisis is real. The time to prepare is now.
