Insight into the Paraklesis fast is insight on our Faith
“In our Tradition, the word “passion” refers to our natural tendencies
which have been distorted by the Fall. Food, for example, is a gift
from God for our nourishment; we are meant to use it in a nourishing way and with gratitude. Gluttony is the passion for abusing God’s gift in distorted ways – such as overeating, or eating unhealthy foods – while ignoring the Giver.”
