Fasting

Steubenville, Ohio, U.s.a.: Franciscan University Press, 1988

As an FYI - I have changed my method of fasting. To do a 24 hour fast from one morning to another impacts my health. I now have a light lunch on day one and I do not eat unitl after NOON on day two. It is still a 24 hour fast and much easier on my fragile health. If begin to feel ill during this fast I will take bread.
 
Best advice I can find in Scripture:

Teaching about Fasting. Matthew, Chapter 6:

16“When you fast,* do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.

Peace.
