commandments and reach our defiant spiritual goal. Fasting must also be accompanied with<br />
struggle against <strong>the</strong> temptation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> devil, lest <strong>the</strong> devil should tempt us to deviate from this<br />
goal.<br />
These practices and <strong>the</strong> struggle, which need hard work, can release <strong>the</strong> soul and give depth to<br />
<strong>the</strong> inner spiritual life for deeper relationship with Christ.<br />
Conclusion:<br />
The Holy Fast in our church is a golden chance for seeking Christ and sticking to Him. The<br />
Church, with all her beautiful spiritual climate, wonderful rituals, wonderful monastic hymns,<br />
and her readings about repentance is ready to receive us. It is <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> repentance for<br />
everyone who loves Christ and wants to live with Him. Let us struggle so as this chance may<br />
not pass without meeting Christ.<br />

Concentrate in <strong>the</strong> fast on <strong>the</strong> spiritual benefit not <strong>the</strong> change in food<br />
