On this day, we commemorate all the Righteous and God-bearing Fathersand Mothers, both known and unknown, who shone forth in Asceticism.

With these two weeks of Meatfare and Cheesefare, the Church graduallyeases us into the full Fasting, which begins on Monday.

The Holy Acetics are Virtuous men and women who contended against thedevil and their own passions.

By examining their Lives and their Struggles against the Enemy, we takecourage from the Victory they have achieved, and are Inspired toimitate their God-pleasing conduct.

They also teach us that Fasting is not merely abstinence from food, butinvolves refraining from inappropriate speech and unseemly actions.

Since these Holy Ascetics share the same human nature that we have, theirexample is an encouragement to us as we embark on our own SpiritualStruggles.

Their Lives are a model for us to follow as we seek to acquire and practicethe various Virtues and to turn away from everything evil.

If we undertake these same Struggles of Prayer, Fasting, and Good Works,we shall receive from God the same Reward they did.

Most of the Holy Ascetics commemorated today have their own separateFeast Day during the year, while some are remembered only on this day.
