Genesis 4:10
Voice of the day
August 6, 1945 / midnight in broad daylight / people inflicted on God / a punishment of fire / this one evening / the fires of Hiroshima / are reflected in the beds of humankind / and, before long, history / will lie in ambush / for all those who imitate God
Prayer of the day
Woe to those who think they have the right to take life. We mourn those murdered by weapons of mass destruction; may such weapons never be used again.
