Sojourners Verse and Voice – 14 April 2023

Verse of the day
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.

– John 1:14

Voice of the day
The mystics also remind us that the ordinary is holy. The mystics enter into the reality of life. We cannot divorce Christianity from all that is embodied, the suffering and the good and everything else.

– Carmen Acevedo Butcher, “The Quaint Christian Mystic You Really Should Know About”

Prayer of the day
Lord, we thank you that wherever the ordinary is, that is where we will find you. May we not forget that we are people of an embodied faith.
