Verse of the day
For Mordecai … was powerful among the Jews and popular with his many kindred, for he sought the good of his people and interceded for the welfare of all his descendants.
Esther 10:3
Voice of the day
A traditional refrain I hear from family, friends, and even strangers during Lunar New Year festivities is gong xi fa cai, a call for wealth and prosperity in the new year. … I resolve to not only seek gong xi fai cai once a year for my family and friends, but to seek the well-being of my community all year round.
Prayer of the day
Lord, for this Lunar New Year and Year of the rabbit, teach us to seek not our own prosperity but also the well-being of those around us.
