Voice of the day

The point is that no one escapes suffering. It is part of the rhythm of life, part of the process of living. The question then is, for what are we willing to suffer?
– Joan Chittister

Prayer of the day

God of purpose, help us find meaning in the sacrifices we make and the hardships we endure for the sake of love, justice, and one another. May our suffering never be in vain, but become a seed from which compassion grows, hope takes root, and a more just world begins to flourish. Amen.
