Verse of the day

But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Job 32:8 (NIV)

Voice of the day

As long as we keep dividing our lives between events and people we would like to remember and those we would rather forget, we cannot claim the fullness of our beings as a gift of God to be grateful for. Let's not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God.

Henri Nouwen

Prayer of the day

God, help us to abandon our selfish ways and faithless habits, so that we might know the fullness of your new creation in our communities as it is in your resurrected body.
