FASTING & FAITH- As the month of Ramadan occurs my Muslim brothers and sisters will be fasting from Sunrise to Sunset for a month and I thought Yom Kippur was hard. Fasting is an important part of the Christian faith although it appears less rigid on how it is performed as compared do the Jewish and Islamic faith. Fasting is found is most faiths but what are the similarities we can discover?

(1) HUMBLING- A fast reminds you that life and all it’s wonders can’t be taken for granted. We must thank G-D for the bounty we have and not forget those less fortunate.

(2) SIGN OF CLEMENCY- We ask that G-D accept our fast as a sign that we are committed to be better people and therefore ask for forgiveness.

(3) STRENGTH OF CHARACTER- As a person finishes the fast they feel not only cleansed but realize that they have the ability to survive and grow with G-D’s help.

In conclusion I pray that my Muslim brothers and sisters have an easy, spiritual fast during this month of Ramadan. Let us all find that spiritual gift during our fast that brings us true understanding and friendship between all G-D’s children.
