Fasting is the change of every part of our life, because the sacrifice
of the fast is not the abstinence but the distancing from sins. Therefore,
whoever limits the fast to the deprivation of food, he is the one who, in
reality, abhors and ridicules the fast. Are you fasting? Show me your fast with
your works. Which works? If you see someone who is poor, show him mercy. If you
see an enemy, reconcile with him. If you see a friend who is becoming
successful, do not be jealous of him!
Saint John Chrysostom
