Verse of the day
Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.”
Luke 19:8
Voice of the day
There can be no repair of relationship between the oppressed and oppression’s beneficiaries without the truth being told. Repair requires repentance. Repentance requires reparation.
Prayer of the day
God of reparations may this nation do more than repent for the harm it has caused; may it offer reparations to those whose dignity has been the most subjugated.
