"This unique gift which is in Christ is offered in its fullness to everyone. He is everywhere available, but it is given to each man in proportion to his readiness to receive it.” -St. Hilary of Poitiers

"If you cannot go without eating all day because of an ailment of the body, beloved one, no logical man will be able to criticize you for that. Besides, we have a Lord who is meek and loving and who does not ask for anything beyond our power. Because he neither requires the abstinence from foods, neither that the fast take place for the simple sake of fasting, neither is its aim that we remain with empty stomachs, But that we fast to offer our entire selves to the dedication of spiritual things, having distanced ourselves from secular things." 

Saint John Chrysostom, On Fasting.

Orthodox worship is not a mere remembrance of an event, or a resemblance for that matter, but rather a participation in the same events of Christ’s salvation on our behalf. We use the word symbol quite frequently, however, the context/meaning of this word today is different from its’ original purpose.

“The history of religions shows us that the more ancient, the deeper, the more ‘organic’ a symbol, the less it will be composed of such ‘illustrative’ qualities. This is because the purpose and function of the symbol is not to illustrate (this would presume the absence of what is illustrated) but rather to manifest and to communicate what is manifested. We might say that the symbol does not so much ‘resemble’ the reality that it symbolizes as it participates in it, and therefore it is capable of communicating it in reality.”

From The Eucharist – Fr. Alexander Schmemann
