“We were exiled from the earthly paradise because we didn’t fast so we have to fast to return to the heavenly paradise. Fasting reconciles us with God. Fasting controlled the power of the fire and blocked the lions’ mouths.” – St. Basil the Great #stbasilthegreat #gospel #fasting #god #jesus #sunday #love #joy #holylent #sunday #sundayreading #coptic #orthodox #bible #verses #matthew #nkjv
