Description
A Short Conversation with Moses the Fasting Prophet! Is Inspired by Saint Jacob of Serugh’s mentality, I envision the beginning of the Great Lent, as an invitation for us to have a conversation with the one who is great among the prophets, Moses. We are told, “Come, let us turn to Moses and ask him about fasting, whether there is a need for it and how to prepare ourselves for it? How do we practice it? We ask him, ‘What ought we do on the Sunday before lent?’ He responds saying, ‘I am really saddened at how some people misuse the Sunday on which we ought to prepare ourselves to fast. It is inappropriate to prepare for fasting by preparing delicious meals prior to the start of lent. A true preparation is when the faithful embraces all humanity with true love. It is when the faithful elevates himself together with all of humanity through the Cross, so that everyone will enjoy seeing the Holy God who rose from the dead, the Savior of the world.”
