Verse of the day
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:6
Voice of the day
Isaiah reminds us that fasting is not about piety, but liberation. … At a time when social and political crises of all sorts loom, Lenten fasts are vital tools for individual and communal spiritual health.
Prayer of the day
This Lent, Lord, may we move away from viewing this season as a time for our personal piety but instead as a way to love and care for those in our midst.
