Verse of the day

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
– Titus 3:4-5

Voice of the day

No one can celebrate a genuine Christmas without being truly poor. The self-sufficient, the proud, those who, because they have everything, look down on others, those who have no need even of God – for them there will be no Christmas. Only the poor, the hungry, those who need someone to come on their behalf, will have that someone. That someone is God, Emmanuel, God-with-us. Without poverty of spirit there can be no abundance of God.
– St. Óscar Romero

Prayer of the day

Incarnate Word, you came to us in vulnerable circumstances and during dangerous times out of a deep, abiding love. May the enaction of our own love echo yours.
