This is the kind of fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts.
share your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of glory will secure your passage.
' A Full Life in the Emptiest of Places
"If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims,
quit gossiping about other people's sins,
If you are generous with the hungry
start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,
shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.
god will always show us where to go.
I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places
You'll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.
