Ash Wednesday

 It's Ash Wednesday today. We're all fasting. Here's a nice advice from The SHepherd of Hermas, a 1st century AD christian book.

“Fasting … is very good, provided the commandments of the Lord be observed … First of all, be on your guard against every evil word, and every evil desire, and purify your heart from all the vanities of this world. If you guard against these things, your fasting will be perfect."

The Shepherd of Hermas
