Exploring the Spiritual Depth of Fasting

Fasting opens us to supplication and a deeper obedience to God during Lent. It encourages us to think about God more and avoid entering into a transactional mindset with Him. Fasting allows us to experience a spiritual renewal by curbing our passions and aligning our will with that of Jesus Christ. It helps in fostering qualities like meekness and chastity by restricting nutrition, which in turn helps in controlling the reproductive faculties of the soul.
