Verse of the day

Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
James 5:4

Voice of the day

By fighting for better conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute–the rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor in other words, we can to a certain extent change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world.

Dorothy Day

Prayer of the day

God of justice, open the ears of the wealthy and powerful. May we cry out unceasingly for the rights of all workers.
