The Meaning of Fasting

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

Together with the struggle to eliminate passions, the goal of fasting is to introduce the faithful into the greatness of the new life in the Lord through the Cross. Therefore, when we feel the slightest physical hunger brought by fasting, we try to reshape and transform it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
