St. Theophan the Recluse on Fasting

"Our soul is simple as thought, and rapid as thought or lightning. In an instant it can be wounded by sin and become attached to corruptible things; in an instant it can fall away from the love of God and its neighbor through a single unrighteous thought, through a single passionate desire, through a single malevolent thought, and, therefore, we must constantly watch our heart, lest it should incline to words or thoughts of evil, and must ever strive to preserve it in God's simplicity and purity, and in the love of God and its neighbor."

St. Theophan the Recluse

"For what is denying oneself? He who truly denies himself does not ask, Am I happy? or, Shall I be satisfied?"
