  <li>Fasting is not a &quot;command,&quot; but a day of atonement is prescribed. </li>
  <li>Church fasting.</li>
  <li>&quot;Fasting is abstaining from something.&quot;</li>

  <li>Fasting can help us celebrate.</li>
  <li>The good that comes from it. </li>
  <li>Physical benefits (pain leads to health).</li>
