Meaning of Fasting

The concept of purity, like the concept of fasting, should not be impoverished. The word “katharsis” comes from “kat-arios,” which means a process towards integrity and perfection. Therefore, katharsis indicates an inner stability, an integrity of character that remains fully devoted to God in the face of any temptations. It requires a gradual spiritual transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. Thus, according to the hymn, true fasting is a “means” toward “wholeness.”

Along with the struggle to eliminate passions, the purpose of fasting is to introduce the faithful into the greatness of the new life in Christ through the Cross. Therefore, when we feel the slightest physical hunger that fasting brings, we try to reshape and reframe it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
