General Fasting Guidelines

 Fasting is a spiritual discipline that should be practiced with the oversight and direction of your spiritual father. If you have any specific questions about how the fasting discipline applies to you, you should consult your spiritual father. In the case of All Saints parishioners, you should seek guidance from Fr. David.

Notes:

  1. Meals for the fast should follow the dietary restrictions and be cooked simply. Portions should be smaller than usual.

  2. If you have a medical condition that requires you to relax the fasting guidelines, then do so.

  3. Generally speaking, children and elderly people are allowed to relax the fast under the guidance of their spiritual father.
