I stopped taking hot showers for lent one year and ended up preferring it so it’s not much of a sacrifice anymore. Also this Saturday (all hallows eve) is a traditional fasting day.
Sayings on Fasting
St Symeon the New Theologian:'Let each one of us keep in mind the benefit of fasting... For this healer of our souls is effective, in the case of one to quieten the fevers and impulses of the flesh, in another to assuage bad temper, in yet another to drive away sleep, in another to stir up zeal, and in yet another to restore purity of mind and to set him free from evil thoughts. In one it will control his unbridled tongue and, as it were by a bit, restrain it by the fear of God and prevent it from uttering idle and corrupt words. In another it will invisibly guard his eyes and fix them on high instead of allowing them to roam hither and thither, and thus cause him to look on himself and teach him to be mindful of his own faults and shortcomings. Fasting gradually disperses and drives away spiritual darkness and the veil of sin that lies on the soul, just as the sun dispels the mist. Fasting enables us spiritually to see that spiritual air in which Christ, the Sun who knows no setting, does not rise, but shines without ceasing. Fasting, aided by vigil, penetrates and softens hardness of heart. where once were the vapors of drunkenness it causes fountains of compunction to spring forth. I beseech you, brethren, let each of us strive that this may happen in us! Once this happens we shall readily, with God's help, cleave through the whole sea of passions and pass through the waves of the temptations inflicted by the cruel tyrant, and so come to anchor in the port of impassibility.
'My brethren, it is not possible for these things to come about in one day or one week! They will take much time, labor, and pain, in accordance with each man's attitude and willingness, according to the measure of faith and one's contempt for the objects of sight and thought. In addition, it is also in accordance with the fervor of his ceaseless penitence and its constant working in the secret chamber of his heart that this is accomplished more quickly or more slowly by the gift and grace of God. But without fasting no one was ever able to achieve any of these virtues or any others, for fasting is the beginning and foundation of every spiritual activity'.
- Symeon the New Theologian: the Discourses, pub. Paulist Press. pp. 168-169.
Mother Gavrilia of blessed memory spent much time traveling in the service of Christ to places that separated her from the daily liturgical life of the Church. Especially during these times, the advice of her spiritual father Archimandrite Lazarus Moore stood her in good stead:
'Fasting is one of our greatest weapons against the Evil One. I will repeat what Father Lazarus told me once. In 1962, I went to the USA. I stayed there a long time and travelled to many states. The letters of Father Lazarus were a great help... He used to say: "Go anywhere you like, do whatever you like, as long as you observe Fasting"... Because not a single arrow of the Evil One can reach you when you fast. Never.'
- Ascetic of Love, the biography of Mother Gavrilia, pub. Series Talanto. pg. 200.
St Seraphim of Sarov on Fasting: 'Once there came to him a mother who was concerned about how she might arrange the best possible marriage for her young daughter. When she came to Saint Seraphim for advice, he said to her: "Before all else, ensure that he, whom your daughter chooses as her companion for life, keeps the fasts. If he does not, then he is not a Christian, whatever he may consider himself to be."'
- From a sermon of Metropolitan Philaret, quoted in The Ladder of Divine Ascent, pub. Holy Trinity Monastery, pg.xxxiii.
Abba Daniel of Sketis: 'In proportion as the body grows fat, so does the soul wither away.'

This video was so helpful. Thank you!
Actually I need to step it up! Thank you for your good example need to fast more indeed 🌹❤️
I would love to see how you do intermittent fasting!
Thank you so much for sharing this ..
Ooh I love the tea bagged coffee! I actually do this because I don’t have a coffee maker but that’s awesome it’s already sold that way.
Well technically you can only fast from food. Fasting is link to the amount of food you eat. Abstaining on the other you can do with multiple kind of stuff. Both is important practices of spiritual discipline.
Keep up the good work!
I can't stop watching your videos. I think it's about time I turn on the bell for notifications
💞🥺😊
@@TheReligiousHippie Does God answer our prayer requests with prayer and fasting? Thank you kindly and blessings
Fr. Mike also mentioned that a church tradition was to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays to "do as the Romans do." Although fasting on the day of the crucifixion seems right, as an intrinsically penitential day. Have you tried the traditional rules for Lenten fast?
Great video 👌🏼
How you ever done the Daniel Fast? It was really a eye opening and really peaceful time
Hi do you eat anything like dry bread on Wednesday or Friday. I started fastening on Wednesday and Friday a few months ago but I eat bread with no spreads, butter etc on it.
Sorry I feel like a fool now, I was so excited to see the video as I fast also that I had wrote my query before I got to the end of the video. 🙈.
Had no idea fasting was a part of our religion super informative!
Can I do a protein shake for breakfast part as fasting?
If I instead of a smoothy I eat the fruit, does it still count?
What is the source of the Fatima quote? I know the content is right (Our Lady wants us to fast), but I don't remember ever reading about this specific quote on Fatima apparitions. Thanks!
Ah im glad you pointed this out, I didnt even realize, its actually a quote from Medjugorje, Im surprised I said Fatima. My bad
@@TheReligiousHippie Oh, ok, thanks for answering me this "fast" (sorry). I'm watching Sister Emmanuel Maillard's video now, and it's really good.
I fast without food and water i am catholic just like Ramadan
Do you wear a scapular
I do
@@TheReligiousHippie Me too!
Oh wow. A beautiful, modest, and contrite Catholic woman... Lord, Jesus Christ, Father, Yahweh, Holy Spirit, you still amaze me and manage to prove a point. Glory to you O Lord!
Edit:
You and 'The Overnight Mom' are now officially my two female inspirations when it comes to finding hope for a good Catholic Woman out there. Hehe.
Fasting from sleeping 🤔😐
I know October is not a traditional Lenten Season, but I am acutally fasting from consuming Media with LGBT and pornographic content this October.
I’m not sure if your joking or trolling or serious. 😅
We don’t “fast” from mortally sinful things like porn and LGBTQ content.
Fasting is denying yourself neutral or good things in order to strengthen your self discipline and deepen your faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. ✝️
If you are struggling with mortally sinful desires you should go to confession or talk with a priest. Your eternal soul depends on getting right with God. He does not permit us to view porn or engage in anyway with LGBTQ lifestyle. God bless you!!
People eat meat on fridays! Except lent !!
Actually all fridays in the year are days of abstinence except that on fridays outside of lent You can replace the penance of abstinence of meat with a diferente penance
