meme from Catholic memes- Eastern edition
Why do Byzantine Catholics and Orthodox Christians fast (in general- this means abstaining from animal products and reducing the amount we eat every Wednesday and Friday plus four extended fasting seasons) so frequently?
We know we fall short. We know that we sin and fall short of God's hopes for us. We know that we need 'spiritual re-sets' that can help us look to God instead of ourselves. Fasting- plus prayer and almsgiving- is the way to journey back to God.
