A Good Reflection on Lenten Season.........

"The kind of fasting I want is this:

Remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice,

and let the oppressed go free.

Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor.

Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives.

(The Bible)
