Voice of the day

The worries and desires and hatreds have dwindled, stretched out upon the earth, tired of existing. And at the level of my mouth all I find is the sweet, pure air of calm renunciation.
– Clarice Lispector, “Letters to Hermengardo” (1941)

Prayer of the day

Give us the wherewithal to renounce false witness, and keep us ready to stand true in the face of existential dread.
