Quotes about Fasting
- Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food. -- Dallas Willard
- Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity. --Saint Augustine
