Lord, our strength and purpose come from you. Direct our steps today, and turn us from the perishable things at which we grasp. Cast your light upon us so that our lives may bear witness to the light of Christ. Amen. - From Common Prayer

When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbours, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. - Luke 14:12-14 + Sign up to receive our social justice verse of the day via e-mail

I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned with the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, 'Now is that political or social?' He said,'I feed you.' Because the good news to a hungry person is bread. - Desmond Tutu + Sign up to receive our quote of the day via e-mail

Almighty comforter, we deeply desire for your kingdom to come and your will to be done. We ask that you empower and strengthen us to break down systems of injustice and poverty in the world. Give us, your servants, tireless vigor as we follow your will. Amen.

Creator of all people, help us to see your image in every person we meet, to see the value that you have placed in each indivudal. Remind us that every man, woman, or child whom we encounter is someone for whom Christ died. And let us see them through your eyes. Amen.
