Ramazan is an uprising against the consumerist lifestyle that has permeated our lives, it is a return to human and spiritual values. During this month the Holy Quran is read with contemplation and thought. This provides an opportunity to think about some of the basic issues which are forgotten in the current modern age.
The hunger which we experience in Ramazan should enable us to understand the pains and sufferings of the impoverished and downtrodden .
Catholics and the pious of other religions believe this too, and it's too bad that the wish to become "modern" has nullified the emphasis on prayer and fasting as a spiritual practice in the Catholic church.
