Verse of the day
But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
Mark 5:33-34
Voice of the day
Yes, Jesus healed people, sometimes from disabling conditions, but that wasn’t the greatest benefit of healing for them. The outcome of each healing narrative was the person’s restoration to society in a culture in which disease or disability often meant a disconnect from people, resources, and care.
Prayer of the day
May we see persons with disabilities as you see them Lord; as beloved children who do not need fixing, but as needed members of our community.
