As we know, the Nativity Fasting started today and will end on Jan6. Below are some proposed practices that can help us in improving our spiritual life.
Fasting Practices for the Nativity:
- Choose one of the following exercises to do during the fasting period so that
you may benefit
- Wake up half an hour earlier than usual or sleep half an hour later and use
that time for prayer or Bible reading to spend time with the Lord. - For those who are restless at night, spend 10 minutes with the Lord and go
back to sleep. - For those who fast, fast from speech in addition to food (decrease your words
to others, and increase your words to God). - Don’t eat more than you need – take only what is sufficient.
- Try to attend at least 2 hours of praises each week during the Kiahk period.
- Keep a picture of the Virgin before you – sit in front of it for just 5
minutes each day and chat with her. - Increase your Bible reading during the fasting period.
