Verse of the day
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
1 Corinthians 12:26 (NIV)
Voice of the day
Sympathy feels bad about a situation. Solidarity joins in as a co-laborer to change the situation. Sympathy calls for love without risk. Solidarity calls for risk as love. Sympathy centers the comfort and timetable of those who benefit from a system of difference. Solidarity calls for a revolution of value in a system in which we build a loving and just common life together.
Prayer of the day
We honor the revolutionaries and martyrs who have gone before us — all those who struggled for the sake of this new world. We praise you, and the God who formed and led you. In gratitude, we stand on your sacrifices and victories. We invite your presence into our lives, asking for your wisdom, strength, and accompaniment as we join your struggle. Be with us as we continue contending for God’s kin-dom. Amen.
