One Day to Change the World
There's a big effort this year to make February 21st (Ash Wednesday) a day of fasting and prayer to feed the poor, fight injustice, and foster peace throughout the world. Called "One Day to Change the World" they are asking for Christians everywhere to fast and pray for these causes in the belief that prayer can change everything. You can also dedicate your Mass attendance that day to these causes - and you'll be fasting anyway!
The second piece of the puzzle is that you give the cost of your food for that day to a charity that supports one of these causes (poverty, injustice, peace). I would recommend Food for the Poor personally since I believe they do a good job helping those who are starving. What do you think? Can you sign up for a day?
You can see more at Global Fast 2007, but this a great campaign to get behind, especially in our times of poverty and violence throughout the world. I think it's a great attempt at focusing Christian prayer for a day on causes like this, so I'm all in!
God bless,
Jay
