You also partake with Jesus Christ who fasted

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III

You also partake with Jesus Christ who fasted.
Join Him in fasting to the extent that your weak nature can stand. He fasted for you, therefore at least fast for yourself. He who rejected the wordily food, and you too partake with him in rejecting the perishing food. He, who is nourished by the love and companionship of His Father, likewise do the same. He, who gained victory over the devil whilst fasting, plead with Him to guide you to victory.
