“Let us abstain from passions as we abstain from food.” (verse from Forgiveness Vespers)
During its Lenten seasons, the Church sets the bar regarding the foods we do and do not eat, as well as the amounts we eat, and the times we eat. Sadly, because of this discipline, Lent is often viewed or perceived to be all about food, which is not the case. Lent is not about “starvation,” but seeking a different kind of nourishment; spiritual food more fulfilling by which we nurture, nourish, and invigorate our soul.
Fr. John
