We Will Feast
"Paul is calling us to remember that the kingdom of God is forever, that the work we put into justice and goodness and sanctification and edification, that work will endure while our weak and frail bodies will pass away to be replaced with immortal bodies, freed from the limitations and weaknesses that we endure now! And so, in light of that, we fast. We take opportunities to abstain from food for the purpose of reorienting our hearts and our minds to the work of God and to seeking first His kingdom, knowing that in the age to come, we will feast!"
