Thank you for speaking the prayers with more volume. My old ears were having a problem and my Bluetooth speaker wasn’t improving the situation. God bless.
Father, I have a question about fasting. What is the most important aspect? Is It the feeling of hunger, or just not eating animal products? And as powerlifter, How should i conciliate fasting with my regular diet, is It possible to maintain body mass and fast correctly?
Your particular situation may require a pastoral response and not just a general application. However, Fasting in the church is just abstinence from meat and dairy. Some also stay away from olive oil and wine. In this you could eat as much as you want of other products though that is not in the real spirit. The idea is to tame our passions through self control and thereby altering our normal lives to be more dedicated to God. Now, the church has established the rules I listed above to do this but there are also other ways to accomplish this with a pastoral blessing. Perhaps you eat just one meal a day or you limit some other foods but keep some according to real need. Maybe you just add additional prayers to your prayer rule to substitute for not being able to fast. Many people have personal reasons why they might have to alter the fast but the key is to still keep it in some other way so as to grow closer to God.
This has been my morning prayer rule for months and months now. Thank you, Fr. Lillie.
