Let us begin the Fast with joy. Let us give ourselves to spiritual efforts.
Let us cleanse our souls. Let us cleanse our flesh.
Let us fast from passions as we fast from foods,
taking pleasure in the good works of the Spirit
and accomplishing them in love
that we all may be made worthy to see
the passion of Christ our God
and His Holy Pascha, rejoicing with spiritual joy.”
