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

Along 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 that fasting brings, we try to reshape it and transform it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
