verse of the day
Come now, let us argue it out, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be like snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Isaiah 1:18

voice of the day

Every time God forgives us, God is saying that God’s own rules do not matter as much as the relationship that God wants to create with us.

Richard Rohr

prayer of the day

Thank you, Lord, that you never abandon us to our hopelessness. There is always room at your table for those who feel forgotten, or who have been cast out. Train us in such hospitality. Amen.

– Common Prayer
