Thought for the Day 4/11/2011

Trouble shared is troubled halved.

– Dorothy Sayers

Is not this 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 poor wanderer with shelter –
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
           and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn…
Isaiah 58:6-8
