"Fasting varies greatly. For a person brought up in luxury fasting can
be one thing, while for a person brought up in simple and rough
conditions it is another thing. Therefore for one person it is nothing
to use the roughest food and be healthy, or to live without food for a
number of days; whereas for another a big change of food can be very
noticeable, and even harmful. But for everyone in general fasting is
above all temperance and strict moderation in the use of food.
Consequently you should use food in moderation and try especially to
bridle the desires of the body, and not satisfy its lusts at all, for
they are unnecessary for the preservation of health and the
prolongation of life and then your fast will be true."
St. Innocent of Alaska.

The Bible reading for the 4th of Nasi, September 9th, is:
1 He also said to His disciples: There was a certain rich man who had
a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was
wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, `What is this I
hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no
longer be steward.' 3 Then the steward said within himself, `What
shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I
cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 `I have resolved what to do, that
when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their
houses.' 5 So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and
said to the first, `How much do you owe my master?' 6 And he said, `A
hundred measures of oil.' So he said to him, `Take your bill, and sit
down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, `And how
much do you owe?' So he said, `A hundred measures of wheat.' And he
said to him, `Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 So the master
commended the unjust steward because he ha
d dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their
generation than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends
for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may
receive you into an everlasting home. 10 He who is faithful in what is
least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least
is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in
the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who
will give you what is your own?. (Luke 16:1-12)
