Should I Break the Fast to Spend Time With Friends?

Описание: Excerpted from Q&A Session in December 2023 by Fr. Peter Heers

"Once there came to him a mother who was concerned about how she might arrange the best possible marriage for her young daughter. When she came to Saint Seraphim [of Sarov] for advice, he said to her: “Before all else, ensure that he, whom your daughter chooses as her companion for life, keeps the fasts. If he does not, then he is not a Christian, whatever he may consider himself to be.” -from a homily by Met. Philaret of New York
