SO GOOD QUOTES

We may fast from time to time as a discipline, but many people fast continually because they have no money to buy food. If we are truly to show compassion to the poor, we must experience within our own bodies the consequences of poverty. Fasting is thus an incentive toward generosity. And the money saved during a fast can readily be given to relieve the enforced hunger of others.

—St. John Chrysostom, On Living Simply
