"For he who fasts pleases God because he has the strength to endure the 
fatigue of the fast and he that eats also pleases God because nothing of 
this sort can harm the salvation of his soul, as long as he does not want 
it to. Because our philanthropic God showed us so many ways by which we 
can, if we desire, take part in God's power that it is impossible to 
mention them all." 

St. John Chrysostom, On Fasting. 

----------------------------------------------- "“And I say to you, My 
friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have 
no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear 
Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to 
you, fear Him!"  
Luke 12:4-5

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
