Verse of the day

Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
– 1 John 4:20

Voice of the day

The first victory we can claim is that our hearts are free of hatred. Hence we say to those who persecute us and who try to dominate us: “You are my brother. I do not hate you, but you are not going to dominate me by fear. I do not wish to impose my truth, nor do I wish you to impose yours on me. We are going to seek the truth together.”
– Oswaldo Payá

Prayer of the day

God our first conciliator, when we dissolve into disagreement, turn our minds to radical openness in finding common ground.
