Verse of the day

“I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
Matthew 10:29-30

Voice of the day

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. … When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must … become the center of the universe.

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech

Prayer of the day

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, help us to remember to love our neighbors more than our borders; let us not be lukewarm when it comes to defending human dignity.
