The word “katharsis” originates from “kat-ártiοs,” meaning a process towards integrity, perfection. Therefore, katharsis indicates an inner stability, a wholeness of character that remains fully dedicated to God in the face of any temptations. It requires a gradual spiritual transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. Thus, according to the hymn, true fasting is a “means” towards “wholeness.” Together with the struggle to eliminate passions, the purpose of fasting is to introduce the faithful to the greatness of the new life in the Lord through the Cross. Therefore, when we feel the slightest physical hunger that fasting brings, we try to reshape it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
