Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, some say fasting combined with pray is good. Have any of you tried fasting?
At this moment all the members of TAW are indeed fasting.
Probably not the way you think - but the ideal for all of us at present is
No meat , no dairy , no oil, no alcohol until the Feast of the Resurrection of Christ [ Easter in your terminology ] Note this is the ideal and how far we fast according to the ideal is between each of us individually and our Spiritual Father / Confessor or Priest. People with health problems usually follow a mitigated fast - again according to advice from their SF/ Confessor / Priest and their medical advisor.
Fasting is not just food and alcohol abstinence - there are other aspects - but we tend not to discuss these.
During this time we also attend Services during the week . We also give alms . Many of us also try and increase our reading of spiritual books

We do NOT boast about fasting - we have stated simply what we do and none of us have told you exactly what we do.
How we fast is between us , our family if necessary , our priest and God
Jesus says we shouldnt boosts about fasting but I just wanted to know if they're people out there that still do it, im thinking of fasting at some point during lent (from food)
Maybe next Monday to Wednesday-thursday.
Thank you for your replies, god bless.
