How is it that we and the Pharisees fast on many occasions, but not your disciples? (Mt 8,14)

While the bridegroom is with the disciples they don't need to fast. The prophet Isaiah reminds us that "the only fast that is required by God is to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the homeless poor into your house, and cover the naked."
