Day 5: First Sunday of Lent — Fasting with Purpose

from Lent Daily Reflections · host Eric Kouassi

“Is this not the fast I choose: to loosen the bonds of injustice?” (Isaiah 58:6) Fasting is not about deprivation—it is about freedom. When you let go of something, you make space for God and compassion. True fasting opens your heart to others and aligns your life with God’s justice.
