Trade with your relationships
Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord denounces fasting which is false, that is to say, fasting which is trumpeted in front of others while giving a false impression of misery.
Instead, God wants a quiet, private fast. He also wishes that all oppression ceases and that all show charity towards their neighbors. Isaiah presents practical works of mercy that please God. We ourselves could imitate them in various ways throughout this time of penitence.
Good relationships with Jesus and with our brothers and sisters are true fasting that pleases the Lord
Happy ascension towards the glorious resurrection!
