Verse of the day
When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the native-born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:33-34
Voice of the day
we are each other’s / harvest: / we are each other’s / business: / we are each other’s / magnitude and bond.
Prayer of the day
God of the Outcast, we pray for protection for those fleeing persecution or hardship. We ask for room in our hearts to welcome them and to love them as ourselves. We thank you for guiding us when we have been strangers. Teach us to trust that your Providence is enough. Amen.
Lisa Clark Diller, “Faith & History” (2020)
