Fasting Is A Weapon

[Mary Naeem]

Fasting Is A Weapon

Fasting is a weapon the Prophets have used, for Moses, Elijah, David, Ezra and Nehemiah have all fasted. Even the Gentiles fasted, entreating the mercy of God, like the inhabitants of Nineveh who fasted and the Lord did cast His wrath away from them.

Saint Pope Kyrillos (Cyril) VI
