Verse of the day
They treat the wound of my people as if it were nothing: “All is well, all is well,” they insist, when in fact nothing is well.
Jeremiah 6:14 (CEB)
Voice of the day
I believe that words are easy. I believe the truth is told in the actions we take. And I believe that if enough ordinary people back up our desire for a better world with action, I believe we can, in fact, accomplish absolutely extraordinary things.
Prayer of the day
Oh Christ, grant that we may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
and it's in dying that we are born
Amen.
Adapted from the Prayer of Saint Francis
