Thought of the Week

‘Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen; to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?’     Isaiah 58: 6-8
