Thanks for the Fast/Feast, I had never seen it before.
Your suggestions are fine, S. But frankly, denying the self through fasting and abstinence, will lead to the virtues and practices you list...and many, many more.
As you know, the Orthodox fast for Great Lent means no meat or meat products (eggs, dairy), no fish with a backbone, virtually no oil, virtually no wine. Most of us do it, at least the no meat part. Of course, we are very bad people and need it. But going the 40+ days without that food is frankly, tough. It makes the joy of Pascha all the greater, however, so much more so that most of us actually look forward to Lent.
“Fast from yourself”
Don’t understand that.
