A laudable practice
"Fasting is a laudable practice, and we have
reason to lament it, that it is so generally neglected among
Christians."
- Matthew Henry, 1662-1714, Commentary on the
Whole Bible
"Moreover when ye fast,
be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they
disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." - Matthew 6:16
"In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and
thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness." - 2
Corinthians 11:27
