And just a quick question before the night is over.... which of the Holy Fathers did not fast? Which of the saints did not fast, save for the ones who were martyred not yet being Christian or St. Dismas the wise thief on the cross and other rare exceptional cases?
I believe one reconciles them with the interpretation of the Holy Fathers who were enlightened by the Holy Spirit. I myself cannot answer this question unless I were to read what the Fathers say about it. If you have any commentaries on the Fathers about this, please let me know as I am interested as to what this exactly means. Thanks. :)
For example, one talks about fasting being a spiritual discipline that makes one stronger. Paul, though, says that the weaker brother distinguishes between meat and vegetables. How does one reconcile these two opinions?
