POSTUL ÎNTRE SPIRITUALITATE ORTODOXĂ ȘI ȘTIINȚĂ
LENT BETWEEN ORTHODOX SPIRITUALITY AND SCIENCE

Summary/Abstract: As it is known, fasting is the total or partial abstention or restraint from food and drink for a limited time for religious-moral purposes. Physical fasting must be harmoniously combined with spiritual fasting, in the sense that abstinence from food is twinned with abstinence from sin. At the same time, constituting itself as a spiritual exercise, fasting also receives a religiousmoral character, in the sense that beyond the form of a simple diet, abstinence from food has the role of cultivating the spiritual life, by intensifying the life of prayer, as and of the other virtues specific to life in Christ through the Holy Spirit; especially: humility, repentance, meekness, justice, pure heart, peace of mind, and especially the acts of charity through which we show our love for God and for our fellow men.
