The Nativity Advent

But you when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, But to your FATHER WHO IS in the secret place, and your FATHER WHO SEES in secret WILL REWARD you openly" AMEN{ Matta}( Mt:6:17-18).

I want to share with you a part of a nice Spiritual Poem I read:

I fast to know what it is I lack. For day by day I sit in abundance, and

All is well before me; I want not, I suffer not, and I

Lack but that for which I invent a need. But my heart is empty of true joy,

Filled, yet overflowing with dry water

( Please read: {Armia}Jer:2:13)

In hunger of body and mind, I see The vanity of food,

For I have loved food as food, And have never been fed.

In weary, waking vigil I see the vanity of sleep,
For I have embraced sleep as desire, And have never found rest.

In sorrow, with eyes of tears I see The vanity of pleasure,

For I have treasured happiness above all, And have never known joy.

(Please read {Gamaa}Eccl:2:11)

‘I fast to crush the wall That is myself;

For I am not who I am, just as these passions Are not treasures of gold but of clay.

I fast to die, for it is not the living who are Raised, but the dead

(Please read {Yohana} Jn:5:25, {Romia}Rom:2:2&12, {Ephses} Eph:2:5)

I fast to crucify my desires

(Please read:{Romia}Rom:6:6,{Galatia} Gal:5:24)

For HE Who Was Crucified, And HE Who Conquered,

And HE Who Live Forever AMEN.

(Please read: {Roaya Yohana}Rev:1:18& 21:6-7)
