ALL ARE WELCOME!
Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high, this is the fasting
that I wish which will release those bound unjustly and untie the thongs of the yoke. It will
set free the oppressed. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wounds
shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you and the glory of the Lord shall
be your rearguard. Then you shall call and the Lord will answer, you shall cry for help and
He will say: Here I am!
