Voice of the day

We must not be frightened nor cajoled / into accepting evil as deliverance from evil. / We must go on struggling to be human, / though monsters of abstraction / police and threaten us.
– Robert Hayden, “Worlds in the Mourning Time” (1970)

Prayer of the day

Empower us, God of justice, so we can rise above our fears during tumultuous times.
