Lenten Pilgrimage: Feb. 20, 2015, Friday after Ash Wednesday

A Lenten Pilgrimage

This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own. (Isaiah 58:6-11)

For Christians, fasting has been a way to break our dependence on worldly items and thus allow Christ's love to fill and expand our lives. Allow the Lord to be the bread of life that sustains you. In response to His love, make an effort today to provide food to shut-in, clothes to a shelter or food to a food pantry.
