“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,
and your healing will quickly appear...”
Isaiah 58:6-8 (NIV)

“...when I was hungry, you gave me food,
when thirsty, you gave me drink;
when I was a stranger you took me into your home;
when naked you clothed me;
when I was ill you came to my help...”
Matthew 25:35-37 (NEB)
