God desires a fast that transcends the mere abstention from food. It is an invitation to reflect on our actions and act accordingly. It involves loosening the bonds of injustice, meaning freeing ourselves and others from unfairness. It also means undoing the thongs of the yoke, helping those in difficult situations who cannot help themselves. Letting the oppressed go free is a call to heal both physical and emotional wounds, and breaking every yoke signifies eliminating any form of slavery or exploitation. This kind of fast is a manifestation of God's love, urging us to act with justice and mercy, reflecting His compassion towards everyone.
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:6
