This Day's Reprise

This Day's Thought

For the Christian, Jesus is the Way. All things are measured by his Way: by his healing grace, his call to forgiveness and purity of heart, nonviolence and a concern for justice; by his relinquishment of earthly power and dominance; affirmation of agape (friendship and self-giving Love) as a new basis for kinship, of change of heart as the requirement for righteousness, and of the transcendent power of suffering.

Madonna Kolbenschlag

This Day's Verse

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Psalm 145:18
The New King James Version

This Day's Thought

God alone can put divine truths into the soul…He chooses that they should pass from the heart into the understanding, and not from the understanding into the heart, in order to humble that proud faculty of reason.

Blaise Pascal

This Day's Verse

For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.  They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.  Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

Psalm 40:12-13
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

This Day's Thought

The only significance of life consists in helping to establish the kingdom of God; and this can be done only by means of the acknowledgment and profession of the truth by each one of us.

You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
