"If you cannot go without eating all day because of an ailment of the body, beloved one, no logical man will be able to criticize you for that. Besides, we have a Lord who is meek and loving and who does not ask for anything beyond our power. Because he neither requires the abstinence from foods, neither that the fast take place for the simple sake of fasting, neither is its aim that we remain with empty stomachs, But that we fast to offer our entire selves to the dedication of spiritual things, having distanced ourselves from secular things."  Saint John Chrysostom, On Fasting.Make sure to check us out on Facebook & TwitterSign up for monthly email updates HERE
