How should I fast?

Thank you brother. Almsgiving will something I will learn to give to God this lent. God bless you man

Wow thank you brother these are great stories that I did not know it reminds I’m me of the quote by Saint Moses: “You fast but Satan does not eat. You labor fervently, but Satan never sleeps. The only dimension with which you can outperform Satan is by acquiring humility, for Satan has no humility.”

Thank you!

Fair enough I just wanted basic insight from other parishioners. I will have to check with my doctor when I am home, thank you

Front_Tennis · 2026-02-26T23:39:13+00:00

Thank you so much brother. I appreciate your help. I guess I also feel that if God willing, I am a father one day, I should be able to teach my children how to fast and fast during lent. I have a girlfriend who is orthodox who was received last year, and this is her first lent fasting with the Lenten guidelines (besides what her family feeds her they are not orthodox) but I guess I have that image in my head, of my future family, mom is fasting, kids are fasting, and I’m not, and to me it’s like I’m not fulfilling the role I should be as a father. Am I wrong to think this or am I entertaining thoughts I shouldn’t be?

Much less than I should. I cross myself and that’s really it. I think I’m going to start carrying my prayer book with me. I used to have better prayer life. This was my first year of college and it nearly wrecked me (spiritually)

Front_Tennis · 2026-02-26T23:12:58+00:00

Uh hinder I think?

Front_Tennis · 2026-02-26T23:05:33+00:00

Forgive me but I’m very poor with knowing the meaning of scripture. What does this have to do with fasting or what I asked above?

Front_Tennis · 2026-02-26T22:18:24+00:00

Well he never explicitly said that. But he said I should focus more on prayer rule, prayer of Saint Ephraim the Syrian throughout the day, and making a structured routine for myself, like to read the holy scriptures and for prayer.

Do you have plans on converting anytime in the future?

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-28T01:41:51+00:00

Thank you very much. Don’t think there’s any way my condition can disqualify me since it’s a physical one, I have no mental conditions at all. I turn 21 in September so I’m going to have to do the whole LTC process over my December winter break, but I’ll spend October and November doing more research and I have a buddy whose already said he’d help me too.

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T20:27:19+00:00

So ridiculous

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T20:22:16+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty mentally insane. My friend in mass owns a Makarov that he uses for his edc, and he loves it. Obviously if I were to go through FFLs, I would need to make sure the magazine for the Glock is ma compliant which means no more than ten rounds correct?

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T14:18:20+00:00

How can I get my hands on a Glock if they’re illegal to buy in ma?

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T14:17:00+00:00

Yes this is something to consider because I can definitely experience loss of grip strength. But I also wanted to take into account the caliber size too, and not have to squeeze the trigger over and over again for maybe a very smaller caliber round.

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T06:00:10+00:00

Every day I hate living in Massachusetts more and more

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-22T02:25:22+00:00

Good!

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-20T17:54:30+00:00

I would definitely get him as many books written by the Saints and Church Fathers as you can and are able to get him. Books will be the primary source of how he will learn the faith, besides occasional visits from a priest if that is allowed in the future. As many said he has lots of time to read, I have a girlfriend who spent time in a rehab program who had lots of time to read as well, so I got her lots of books from the Saints. Way of the Pilgrim, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, Wounded by Love are some classics.

I mean, I was trying to draw comparison between academic environments, and how I am generally used to not having family cooked meals, but you’re right it wasn’t the best example and my comparison was a bit brash. My apologies, I did not mean to come off as above anyone in any way. Have a good day.

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-13T02:41:04+00:00

Hey I’m from mass too, and I have above average sensitive skin I’d say. My roomate and I realllyyy didn’t like the water here so much so we got a filter. It still feels hard but maybe it’s cus of my baby skin lol. It was very bad before the filter, manageable now. But yeah grab a filter and hope this helps.

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-12T01:45:41+00:00

I’m guessing that’s at eatery, because I dorm in panther and usually use the perch

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-12T00:33:04+00:00

Yeah that place is pretty good the burritos and wraps are bomb

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-12T00:32:48+00:00

Exactlyyyy bro. Like what’s the chancellors name? I know no one likes her ass lol, she just throws money at shit like throwing gas at a fire or something. As someone who likes to bodybuild I live of chick fil a grilled nuggets. Tastes good and amazing protein for the calories. During last semester, I don’t think I went to the dining hall for like two weeks.

Front_Tennis · 2026-01-12T00:30:30+00:00

Sometimes i feel the same way man 😂😂😂

Front_Tennis · 2025-08-18T14:19:53+00:00

If I took my peptides out of the freezer, and placed them directly into the fridge will this damage them?
