Practical suggestions for observing the fast
1. Limit the amount of time you spend watching television, listening to audio equipment or the radio. Use media such as the Internet sparingly except for spiritual reading or religious-oriented programming.
2. Donate money to others, to the Church, to some poor family, some social or educational work of which you know. Be sure not to tell anyone what you have done.
3. Maintain the Fast as much as possible. Try to avoid all flesh meat. This should be the absolute minimum requirement of the Fast and an example of practicing self-control…. Do not judge others who may not seem to be fasting. It may be possible that their personal struggle is, in reality, much more difficult than your own.
4. Observe prayer time at home, school, or work, at least once each day, preferably at the same time. Observe a short Rule of Prayer, but keep it faithfully every day of the Fast.
