Once when I went up to the monastery, Father Simonas asked me. It was Great Lent!!
-Are you fasting, my child?
-I tell him, yes, Father Simon.
-What are you eating?
-I tell him, oil all through Great Lent .
He turns and says to me: -My child, then what kind of fasting are you doing?
-Why, Father Simon?
-Are you fasting, my child?
-I tell him, yes, Father Simon.
-What are you eating?
-I tell him, oil all through Great Lent .
He turns and says to me: -My child, then what kind of fasting are you doing?
-Why, Father Simon?
He tells me, you will not eat oil, my child, you will fast five days a week and eat oil on the weekend, but you will not leave your stomach hungry.
You will eat vegetable soups, tahini soups and God will bless you and you will be satisfied with nothing else in your life.
And that's exactly what happened.
To this day I continue my fasting.
In fact, he told me something that I really liked!!!
He tells me: my child, during this season the human blood rotates 400 times more than at other times, and during these 49 days of fasting, when the human body does this, it throws off all diseases.
