Fasting

It`s the joy of feeding mainly on the Lord curbing earthly appetites. Losing ourselves in the Lord and in prayesr. Again not showing off how much we are suffering physically - looking drawn and and making a eartlhy show of it putting the focus on earthly needs - but truly learning to renounce or at least control to the the craving of the self in total abandonment to the Lord. All the rest being given it`s relative God centered importance and not being a chain of enslavement any more. Free to raise to God with our spiritually strong wings not burdened by the physical ones. That cannot raise us to Him.

Fasting

"Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:16-18
