In Christianity, the concept of fasting is based more on a heartfelt relationship with God than on fulfilling a binding religious command. In the Christian faith, man establishes a relationship with God not through religious duties, but through his love and grace. For this reason, Christians are not bound to a specific time or month for fasting, and there is no such thing as a "month of fasting." Rather, every believer can fast at any time, under God's guidance, either individually or collectively, for a few hours, a day, or several days.
This invitation is an invitation to accept a new life that God freely grants to humanity. This invitation is neither from the Church nor from people; it is the invitation of Jesus Christ Himself, He said: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened…” “Take My yoke upon you… for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” This invitation is for everyone: for the poor and the rich, the sick and the healthy, the sinner and the broken, for the weary in heart, and for every time, even today.
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.I do not give to you as the world gives Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
