Meaning of Fasting

The concept of purity, as well as the concept of fasting, should not be impoverished. The word “catharsis” comes from “kat-artios,” which signifies a process towards integrity, perfection. Thus, catharsis indicates an internal stability, an integrity of character that remains completely devoted to God in the face of any temptations. It requires a gradual spiritual transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. And so, according to the hymn, true fasting is a “means” towards “wholeness.”

Together 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 brought by fasting, we strive to reshape it and turn it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
