verse of the day

Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. Happy is the mortal who does this, the one who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it, and refrains from doing any evil.

– Isaiah 56:1-2

prayer of the day

Lord, you promise a peace that passes all understanding. On this day, as we remember those who have died in war and because of it, give us peace in the knowledge that you desire all things to be made new, all lives to be made whole, and all hearts to be at peace with each other and you.
