Verse of the day

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.
– Genesis 1:3-4

Voice of the day

How can Christians celebrate? How can peace people celebrate when you are looking down the barrel of a neutron launcher? How can you women possibly be happy when you live in a church that treats you as if you are less than full human beings? Because the victory has been won. And hope has come. And light has been seen. And some people have shown it. 
– Joan Chittister, reprinted in Light for the Way, a new anthology from Sojourners.

Prayer of the day

God our light, remind us that we are never far from you, however dark things may seem. Guide us in love to share your light with all who hunger for it.
