Prayer and Fasting

[JM]

Do you fast and pray?

Matthew 17:21 KJV
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Mark 9:29 KJV
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Luke 2:37 KJV
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

1 Corinthians 7:5 KJV
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

 

[AMR]

I fast in times of fervent prayer as the situation warrants.

 

[JM]

I'm reading the Philokalia and at times the advice reminds me of the advice found in A Christian Directory by Baxter. The small "c" catholic piety is apparent.

If I did I wouldn't tell you about it.
