When the Bridegroom is Taken From Them, Then They Will Fast - 20 February 2026
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Fasting is a splendid form of penance. It is about voluntarily depriving ourselves of something that we naturally enjoy, like food, drink, sex, or the like. This form of sacrifice cures the attachments, disorder, and dissipation in our souls. Excessive indulgence in the enjoyments leaves in us a certain addiction or slavery to a creature. Depriving ourselves of such enjoyments straightens us up.
