Spiritual Fasting
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
St. Tikhon of
Zadonsk said, “Let your mind fast from vain thoughts; let your memory fast from
remembering evil; let your will fast from evil desire; let your eyes fast from
bad sights: turn your away eyes that you may not see vanity; let your ears fast
from vile songs and slanderous whispers; let your tongue fast from slander,
condemnation, blasphemy, falsehood, deception, foul language and every idle and
rotten word; let your hands fast from killing and from stealing another’s
goods; let your legs fast from going to evil deeds: turn away from evil, and do
good.”
