Sojourners Verse and Voice – 22 December 2021

Verse of the day
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.

– John 14:27

Voice of the day
When I find myself rendered distraught by the world around me, as I imagine Mary must have been, I remind myself that God works in and through chaos.

– Valerie Bridgeman, “Building the Commonwealth of God”

Prayer of the day So let us enter Advent in hope, even hope against hope. Let us see visions of love and peace and justice. Let us affirm with humility, with joy, with faith, with courage: Jesus Christ — the life of the world.
– Daniel Berrigan, “Advent”
