Піст і милостиня З давніх часів християни постили, наслідуючи сорокаденний піст Христа, під час якого Він боровся проти спокус диявола та переміг їх. Піст як спосіб духовної боротьби розвинуло чернецтво, бачачи в ньому засіб осягнення чистоти серця. Піст охоплює всю людину: тіло – через стриманість у їжі та питті, душу – через стриманість від пристрастей. Святий Йоан Золотоустий навчає” “Tи не їси м’яса? Hе споживай нескромностей своїми очима. нехай постить і слух; а піст слуху в тому, щоб не приймати лихослів’я та наклепів. нехай і язик постить від сквернослів’я і лайки... Яка користь, коли ми стримуємося від споживання птиці й риби, а братів угризаємо та пожираємо.” Піст нерозривно пов’язаний з милостинею. “У день, коли постиш, споживай лише хліб та воду. а те, що ти звичайно споживав би, маєш віддати вдові, сироті чи потребуючому. таким чином ти мусиш самому собі в чомусь відмовити, щоби з твоєї відмови хтось інший отримав користь, щоб наситився й помолився за тебе Господеві.” Милостиня як вияв любові до ближнього є наслідуванням самого Бога, Який першим виявив Своє милосердя до людини.

Взаємnо зв’язок між молитвою і постом Молитва з постом – річ добра. (Тов. 12, 8)

Христос у Євангелії наголошує на взаємозв’язку між молитвою і постом для подолання впливу лукавого на людину, тобто звільнення від гріха. “Cей рід нічим не можна вигнати, тільки молитвою та постом.” Святі отці підкреслювали невіддільність посту від молитви: “наскільки відбереш від тіла, настільки додаси душі підживитися духовною силою.” Через піст ми стримуємо й обмежуємо зовнішню людину, щоб через молитву почала розвиватися внутрішня. коли молитва відокремлена від посту, то внутрішня людина не має належних умов для розвитку. (Xrystos naqa Pasxa-702, 786-87)

Fasting and Almsgiving Christians have fasted since ancient times. It was and is a way of imitating the forty-day fast of Christ during which he fought the devil’s temptations and overcame them. Fasting as a means of spiritual combat was further developed by monastics, who saw it as

a means of achieving purity of heart. Fasting takes hold of the entire being: the body through restraint in food and drink, and the soul through restraint of the passions. St. John Chrysostom teaches: “Do you not eat flesh? Feed not upon indecency by means of the eyes. Let the ear fast also. The fasting of the ear consists in refusing to receive slander and calumnies ... For what does it profit if we abstain from birds and fishes; and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters?” Fasting is inextricably linked with almsgiving: In the day on which you fast you will taste nothing but bread and water; and having reckoned up the price of the dishes of that day which you intended to have eaten, you will give it to a widow, or an orphan, or to some person in want, and thus you will exhibit humility of mind, so that he who has received benefit from your humility may fill his own soul, and pray for you to the Lord. Almsgiving as a manifestation of love for one’s neighbor is an imitation of God Himself. It was God who first revealed his mercy towards us.

The Mutual Link of Prayer and Fasting Prayer with fasting is good. (Tob 12:8)

In the Gospels, Christ emphasizes the mutual relationship between prayer and fasting. Both are needed if one is to overcome the influence of the Evil One, that is, if one is to be freed from sin. “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting.” The Holy Fathers stressed the inseparability of fasting and prayer: “To the measure that you take away from the body, to that measure you will fortify the soul with spiritual strength.” Through fasting, we restrain and check the outer person so that through prayer, the inner person might thrive. When prayer is separated from fasting, the inner person lacks the necessary conditions for growth. (Christ Our Pascha-#702,786-87)
