The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Anyone preparing for Advent and/or the 40 day fast leading up to the Nativity of our Lord?

I'm not Orthodox/Byzantine I just know that they do a 40 day fast that should be today if they follow out calendar and if they're Julian then the 28th of November. But you'd have to ask them I could be wrong.

Shouldn't you fast at Lent, not during Advent?

As far as i know St.Martins day (11th november) is the start of the lesser known advent fast periode in the Catholic Church

>>728412

Doing it, cutting back on Internet etc. and trying to be more productive instead.

Orthodox fast during this time. They also fast during Lent and before the Assumption.

It's possible if you take in the right amount of vitamins and nutrients as well, from my understanding. Def more of a /fit/ discussion if you choose to do it properly, but it can be done.

>be fasting for whatever event in early fall/late summer

>I deliver fast/restaurant food and after smelling it all day I wanted some for myself

>while driving to Burger King I passed by something that caught my attention

>it was a middle eastern family who were by their car holding a sign which said "need money for food and gas"

>I didn't think much of it until I was at the drive thru and about to tell my order

>I thought of them, and then realized I shouldn't eat this and that they needed food

>but I also was pissed off because I wanted a winnie the pooh cheese burger and coke

>so I ordered some chicken sandwiches and gave it to them

>all I said was "here" then drove off, not even saying you're welcome

>I just wanted to get it over with because I was angry I couldn't have my burger

>but deep down I really hoped the best for them and loved them even if they were not my brother in Christ or an American

>tfw no Christian friends or Christian gf to fast with me in the advent

Feels bad to be alone in the faith

Advent is a penitent time, which if done properly, makes Christmas way, way more significant. I know some Caths who do a celebratory Advent, but I never much understood it. You don't have to completely fast, but my priest says to abstain from meat and dairy during Advent. However, both Advent and Lent are for penance and preparation. That whole "12 days of Christmas" drivel is insulting.

Oh that's nice, so much social justice! I'm sure you felt proud of your good works, helping Mohammed having 10 kids with your own money.

>2 Thessalonians 3:10: For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

I’m trying at least 3 days to get a feel of it, but now I’m hungry. Dang.
