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. (Is 58:1-9a)

If our Lenten practices of fasting and abstinence don’t lead us to works of justice and mercy, then we’re doing it wrong. God is not fooled by our pretense and religious buffoonery.
