St.Daniel fast

Saint Daniel said...

“Please test your servants for ten days: give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance of what you see. “ (Daniel 1:12-13)

For ten days, Daniel and his men ate a diet consisting of plant foods while the King’s men ate the King’s food: meat, wine, and other choice foods.

“At the end of the ten days, Daniel’s men looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. The guard took away their choice of food and the want they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

Fasting is not a show for others.

True fasting is happening in the silence and peace of our soul.

It is a sincere personal decision. Renunciation of food is only of secondary importance.

The essence of fasting is to deepen our bond with God. Our dedication.

Fasting without prayer is not fulfilled. It is only superficial and physical.

St.Daniel fasting is one of the most responsable decision in our life. Responsability to God.
