Meaning of Fasting:

The concept of purity, just like the concept of fasting, should not be weakened. The word “katharsis” comes from the word “kat-arthios,” meaning a process towards integrity, perfection. Thus, katharsis signifies an inner stability, a completeness of character that remains wholly dedicated to God in the face of any temptation. It requires a gradual spiritual transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. According to the hymn, true fasting is a “means” to “wholeness.”

Together with the struggle to eliminate passions, the goal of fasting is to lead the faithful into the grandeur of the new life in the Lord through the Cross. Therefore, when we feel the slightest physical hunger that fasting brings, we strive to reshape it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
