\u201cGreat Lent is considered a spiritual spring, a renewal of the soul, which is why it coincides with the calendar spring,\u201d said Patriarch Daniel of Romania on Clean Monday evening during the first service dedicated to the Great Canon of Saint Andrew of Crete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His Beatitude emphasized that the significance of fasting lies in spiritual renewal and liberation from past sins through repentance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, mere regret does not bring salvation. True repentance involves a continuous plea for forgiveness and a transformation in our way of thinking, speaking, and living.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fasting: Humanity\u2019s First Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Patriarch Daniel highlighted that fasting originated in Eden and explained why God established it for Adam and Eve.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod forbade them from eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because they were not yet spiritually mature. Knowledge was meant to be acquired gradually, just like their spiritual growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first test for humanity was choosing between the Giver and His gifts. God placed them in a moment of maturity and faithfulness,\u201d the Patriarch explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they had passed this test,\u201d he continued, \u201cif they had understood that obedience to God the Giver is more important than the gifts He provided, Adam and Eve would have grown spiritually.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, they were deceived by the cunning advice of the serpent, who was none other than the devil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why, in a way, God later showed mercy toward humanity, because mankind did not fall into disobedience entirely by its own initiative, but through deceptive guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fasting as a Spiritual Battle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe desire to be like God is not a sin in itself,\u201d Patriarch Daniel noted, citing Saint Maximus the Confessor. \u201cIt becomes a sin when one seeks to be like God without God and against Him, as Lucifer did.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Beatitude stressed that fasting is not merely a practice of dietary discipline or aesthetic well-being.<\/p>\n

\u201cFasting is a school of spiritual struggle, a battle against sinful passions, a gradual liberation from selfish desires so that we may attain the humble and merciful love found in Jesus Christ\u2014the One who obeyed even unto death on the cross to heal the disobedience of our foreparents, Adam and Eve.\u201d<\/p>\n

This spiritual battle, he said, is taught by Christ Himself, who resisted the devil\u2019s temptations after fasting for forty days in the wilderness.<\/p>\n

Fasting as an Act of Love<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cFasting is a sign of Orthodox Christians\u2019 love for God,\u201d Patriarch Daniel added. \u201cIt shows that obedience to God and communion with Him in prayer is more important than consuming the gifts He has given for the nourishment of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the second part of his message, His Beatitude spoke about the significance of the Prayer of Saint Ephrem the Syrian<\/em>, which Elder Petroniu T\u0103nase called the \u201cepiclesis\u201d of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis prayer,\u201d said Patriarch Daniel, \u201cis the epiclesis of the liturgy of repentance\u2014not an invocation of the Holy Spirit upon bread and wine, but upon the person repenting. And the transformation is not of bread into the Body of Christ or wine into His Blood, but of the sinful human being into a virtuous one, through the forgiveness of sins, repentance, and communion with Christ in prayer and in the Holy Eucharist.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday evening, Patriarch Daniel officiated the first part of the Great Canon of Saint Andrew of Crete<\/em> at the Chapel of Saint George at the Patriarchal Residence. The Great Canon is read in segments during the first four evenings of Lent at the Great Compline<\/em> service and in its entirety on Wednesday of the fifth week.<\/p>\n

For the service, Patriarch Daniel wore a black cassock. While he typically wears white clerical vestments as a symbol of the Romanian Orthodox Church\u2019s continuous canonical legitimacy, he exceptionally wears black garments during the first week of Lent and Holy Week, particularly for the Lamentations of the Lord<\/em>, as an expression of deep repentance.<\/p>\n
