have passed by while you are still as you are, without change

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III

Think about the number of fasts that have passed by while you are still as you are, without change.
How many fasts have you kept up till now since you came to know God? How many years since you have passed observed the different fasts as well as the weekly Wednesdays and Fridays fasts?
If you had managed to overcome just one weak point for every fast you observed which reconciles you to God, you will have succeeded in tasting the sweetness of His will and the depth of your relationship with Him!
