Warriors, do not forget that fasting and ritual is more than about food and rules. The Sacred Writings tell us what our Great Chief and Captain truly wants of us…to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of those in bondage. He desires to see the oppressed go free and that we break every yoke that holds his people back.

Let us care for one another. Let us share our food with the hungry and provide shelter for those in need. Let us not turn away our own flesh and blood!

This is the desire of Creator Yahweh to see us loving him and loving others, not just in word, but in action and in truth. When we do these things our light will break forth like the dawn and healing and restoration will quickly take place.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Isaiah 58:6-8. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
