Pope Shenouda III
Fasting is the bodily expression of abstinence from materialism and the longing for a life with God. Through abstinence, the body joins the soul in its aspects of spiritual work. Through this, the body becomes spiritual in attitude and takes on the appearance of the soul.
In spiritual fast, neither the soul nor the spiritual body, is anxious about bodily wants.
