Often, during Lent, we think “what will I give up?”  But what if we asked instead, “What can I take on?”  This is the fast God desires: 

“Is not this the fast that I choose: 
… to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?”  (Isaiah 58:6-7)
