Fasting of the stomach is abstinence from food;
fasting of the tongue is
abstinence from lewdness;
fasting of the eyes is
abstinence from indecency;
fasting of the hands is
abstinence from injustice;
fasting of the heart is
abstinence from evil thoughts.
Perfect fasting is
abstinence from all evil.
If you fast physically, but
with your tongue you speak evil, you have become like one who cuts a tree from
the root and expects fruit from its branches.
✝️Saint
Isaac the Syrian.
