- How should you fast?
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God, Amen
One of the most common misconceptions these days is that fasting should be done in the spirit only. Meaning, there’s no need to fast in the body. For some, this is a logical idea… after all, Christians ought to be spiritual people so we should fast in the spirit. But is that how we should fast? Then again, the opposite extreme is also practiced by many Christians, where the fast is purely a bodily exercise. Although it is often done unintentionally, it is something that needs to be addressed. In this video, I would like tackle both of these common misconceptions and to explain what an Orthodox fast consists of.

My dear Coptic brothers in Christ,
What a blessing vídeos! Definitely I'm gonna fast more often after seeing your two videos explanations. And that John's quote 16:33 has been talking to me a lot during the last days. I didn't know that Bishop Cyril had interpreted it that way, I thought it was wonderful! As I am a brazilian presbyterian christian, I don't know much about St. Cyril, one of the church's fathers. But I intend to study more and deepen my knowledge.
However, beloved brothers, Stay strongly proclaiming the Word of God through internet, always persevering in apostles' doctrine (At 2:42) so that the Lord may add his chosen ones, day by day, to his church.
God bless you powerfully!
Orthodox faith help a Christian to lead a true Christian life
Thank you Father
Thank you Father,from Kerala india
Sir it is possible to god suffer to his own creation
If he chooses to. Yeah
Orthodox faith is equal to DIAMOND
Oh yes indeed!
@@CopticOrthodoxAnswers but very few realizes , one who realizes is a luckiest person.
Very true!
or a goodly pearl
Thank you. And I am also looking for practical instruction like, how many hours do you fast, can you include water, which days do you fas, what prayers are accompanied with the fast, etc.?
This is why I'm here! So frustrating that there aren't specific instructions on this!
What advice is to weekly fasting (wed & fri)? Is it the whole day, sun set, total fasting (meaning only water) or partial (avoiding certain foot). As I start learning about orthodox Christianity, I'd like to apply into my life. Last but not least, how to pray and what to pray during these fasting days. Thank you!
P.S may be you could do a video about weekly fasting 😉😇
in Ethiopiam orthodox, we fast just like other times. We abstain from meat and dairy products and we fast till 3 pm and some till lunch time
Excellent keep it up ,upload more and more videos.
May God bless you
Pray for us
Beautiful explanation of the fast. Thank you Father for what you do. God bless you amd His Holy Church!!!
Thank you Rev.Father profoundly from the core of my Heart.
Is the Wednesday and Friday fast a total abstaining from food? Or more of the old school lent approach of one meal of water, herbs, and bread?
Good question!
Fasting certain foods is what weakens you so you don't fight and that makes you sin less, right ? Its not just fasting food . Many of us make mistakes but more important that we are not arguing and fighting with others, not cursing and be forgiving!!
Hello from Russian Orthodox
Hello. Is it acceptable to take fish oil supplements during a fast?
Hello Heather! If it is recommended by a doctor for your health then yes...
@@CopticOrthodoxAnswers ok, thanks for your help. 😀
Spirituality is continuously growing, not static.
Thank you, Aba. 🙏🏿
I need a video since I'm new to Orthodoxy on the time line and days and waht to avoid for fasting.
Ok so these are the main fasts:
The Great Lent: 2nd march - 18 April 2020
The Fast of the Apostles: 15 June - 11 July 2020
The Fast of the Dormition of the Theotokos August 1 - August 14 2020
The Christmas Fast - 28 November - 6 January 2020
And there are smaller fasts on Wednesdays and Fridays when you need to go vegan.
God bless you brother, you will be in my prayers :D
I grew up learning that fasting is anything from an animal and on Every Wed and Friday we do not touch meat or fish. " Cursed is the Larynx that eats meat or fish on the day Jesus was betrayed and the day of his crucifixtion. We need to do a sacrifice for God. I am ashamed when I don't because he suffered such a horrific torture to his death. How can I complain and say " I can't fast ? So take the cross and try. Only when your sick or pregnant or traveling , your excused. But me I would not use traveling as an excuse I would travel on a day I can fast. Never on a wed or Friday. Just like I refuse to work on Sunday, the day of our Lord the day of rest
@@theserbiaball695 apparently 55 days no meat?
What is that?
@Onnonoise why?
Did Jesus or any prophets do such things?
I heard for a few days in Bible David did for a few days?
Pbuthem
To know christ To walk with Christ To become like Christ To make Christ know
Pleased father upload more. God blessed your sprit
Really enjoyed the quotes at the end. thanks!
When we fast let's also remember our latest three martyrs the monks in south africa. They died for their faith. Our church must stand up and say no to persecution! #saynotopersecutionofchristians
Do you have any more news on this? Who were the murders and the reason for their death?
thank you Fr.
I have a question
Yes?
That's awesome great job father everything now is clear
Thank you
Brother how are we gonna do metania with all those benches????
Its an ecumenical forign concept
When does Great Lent Fast start? im so confused with the dates
I believe it’s March 15th dear🤎
For Ethiopian Orthodox it started on 8th May
@@mariesingh4945 what no , it’s started this year in March
@@elizabethzewde2254 yes I meant to type March and put May instead! Lol
Thanks Aba🥺
Hello Fr. Gabriel Wissa Is it good that I fast off of junk food?
This video hurts. Thank you.
Can you make a video about “what is lent?” As per Coptic belief?
Would love to but don’t know if we will have the time before lent ends this year unfortunately
May I have blessing to do intermittent fasting? Amen
I find fasting hard and I'm not sure of its benefits. Jesus says it's not what goes into the mouth that defiled amanbut what comes out. Our words and actions defile us.
True but u will know the power of fasting when u pray and fast at the time
❤❤❤
God bless
Amen
🙏 Amen

This is all spirituality and no jurisprudence on how to fast.
Hello Alessio,
God willing, these principles should help to guide those decisions but a spiritual father is indispensable with regard to the specifics for all of us :).
