The fasting makes folks, as we know from our own fasting tradition, more calm and patient with each other.

I am glad things are "calm" with you Kenneth. But I have never seen the affect fasting has on people as you describe. Perhaps I am not doing it right. As a representative sample, you should read some of the posts on this very forum during Lent. Just saying

Paul, that's a good point, on reflection maybe it's not calmness and patience I'm seeing here, but just lethargy in the 110degree weather. Maybe folks are just too exhausted and hot to spend the energy on crankiness! I dunno, but I'm staying out of the public square as much as I can. There is air conditioning, ham'd'allah, as they say...

God bless.

I have to say that my last Lent was very successful for me in acquiring patience and serenity. Never felt better actually.
