Fasting is one kind of self-denial. Cardinal Newman wrote in his diary: "One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers, in which idle people indulge themselves."
Father Vaughan says: A decent man who intends to marry a girl and make her the queen of his heart and the mistress of his home is not going to choose for his partner "till death do them part," a girl who has so little respect she does not even know how to clothe herself in decency.
