TradCatKnight: Pope Clement XIII: ON THE SPIRITUAL ADVANTAGES OF FASTING
Appetente Sacro
Encyclical of Pope Clement XIII promulgated on December 20, 1759.
The Catholic Church has always preserved it so that by the mortification of the flesh and the humiliation of the spirit, we might be better prepared to approach the mysteries of the Lord's passion and the paschal sacraments. Likewise through fasting we might rise again in the resurrection of Him whose passion and death we joined after we put off the old man. Our predecessor Benedict XIV aroused you with two earlier briefs, that you might zealously preserve such a holy and salutary institution.
