But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus in like manner evil things, but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.’
– Luke 16:25
Voice of the day
The gift of free time is not a luxury. It is, theologically speaking, the precondition of humanity. It is where we learn to be imago Dei — the image of a God who rests, who delights, who dwells in community…The Sabbath has been stolen from us — not by God’s absence, but by an economic order that treats human beings as instruments of production.
– Omar Haramy, “The Fridge and the Drone”
Prayer of the day
Eternal Refuge, as Augustine said, our hearts are restless until they rest in you. Keep us attuned to one another as we overcome the impulse to measure ourselves by our productivity.
