Sharing Hunger with the Destitute
Abstinence from food and drink from dawn to sunset forces on the
believer the personal experience of hunger and thirst. In the crucible of
personal experience he learns of that suffering which the poor and destitute
must bear. As a consequence of the acquisition of that understanding of poverty,
the believer’s heart and mind is opened for the development of greater sympathy
for the poor and greater feelings of charity, kindness, and generosity. And
these surely are virtues which lift men and societies to honour and greatness
in the march of history.
