[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III








At this point, I address all in reproach:
How many Lents have passed by us with all the spirituality’s of the "Great Fast"? If we have gained some spiritual benefit from every fast, what is our harvest from these "Great Fasts" and from the other fasts that we kept?
The point is that, in fasting, we are in need of seriousness and spirituality and should not pursue the matter in a routine and careless manner.
