True Fasting
our fast would
be rejected if you were immoderately severe toward your servant. Will it
be approved if you fail to recognize your brother or sister?
I am not asking what food you abstain from, but what you love. Do you love justice? Well, then, let your justice be seen.
-- The Value of Fasting 5, 6-7
Prayer. O Lord, you will increase your gifts more and more in me, so that set free from all concupiscence my soul may follow me to you.
-- Confessions 10, 30
