8 F asting is not an isolated discipline, but one of a trinity of holy practices: Prayer. Fasting. Almsgiving. Each of these gives support and meaning to the others. Prayer befriends the soul. It refixes our sacred purpose and turns us toward the tasks at hand. Fasting befriends the body which is to say that the body is good, very good, and worthy of whatever form our fasting must take. Almsgiving befriends our neighbor with whom we share what we might otherwise have hoarded. To fast, accompanied by prayer and almsgiving, is to be healed. Fasting is good for the body, the body politic, and the mystical body. Fasting helps to make the body whole. Fasting is necessary now if we are ever to enjoy feasting. A good appetite allows us to enjoy the earthly gifts that we have been given. So fasting is not so much a deprecation SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT A G o o d A p p e t i t e of the flesh, but a sharpening of earthly joys. The Talmud says: One will have to give an account on the judgment day of every good thing which one might have enjoyed and did not. Fasting helps us savor God s goodness.
