Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to share your bread with the hungry, and welcome the poor to your house?  Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord behind you.  You will call out, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and God will say: “Here am I.”  [adapted from Isaiah 58:6-9 by Matthew F. Burt]
