Apparently, there are religions that include fasting as part of their whole deal.  Apparently, many people are in these religious groups, clubs, organizations, and so on.

I'm Italian.  Fasting isn't going to happen.  We believe that God fully intended us to eat every day.  We're sure of this.  In fact, we even think that is why our bodies are made to do so.

"...fasting is the cause of awakening and mindfulness..."




(Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 368)




"This fast is conducive to the spiritual development of the individual."




(Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 57)



 

The first time I did this, it was excruciating!  This year, it wasn't difficult for me at all, and actually I am extremely grateful for it.  Especially these days, it's so easy to get caught up and lost in day to day frivolities, it was really nice to have this time to refocus on what's really important. 

 

but now...let's eat!   :giantgrin:

Oh, I LOVE Italian food!!:smitten:

But I don't think we were meant to eat every day. I think that's why

women in general carry around stored fat. That's to get us through

all those lean times when the old man doesn't bring home the mastodon

for dinner...

Fasting has it's health and devotional benefits. But #1 is to love the Lord God with all your heart, soul and mind...

::wiseman::  




Jesus said, "Take heed that no one deceives you."

Matthew 24:4
