Kalo mina (good month)! Its the start of a new month, and for those of us on the Revised Julian Calendar, the start of the 15 days of August: the fast for the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. Heres part of a sermon on fasting by St. John Chrysostom, explaining how to go about fasting in the proper manner. Among many things, St. John says: Fasting is the change of every part of our life, because the sacrifice of the fast is not the abstinence but the distancing from sins. Therefore, whoever limits the fast to the deprivation of food, he is the one who, in reality, abhors and ridicules the fast. Are you fasting? Show me your fast with your works. Lets heed his words!
