Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for
the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring
out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison
those who sit in darkness.   Isaiah 42:6-7

Voice of the day

The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which
the penal system casts those it has condemned,
an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul,
lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who
shall revive it?     Victor Hugo


Prayer

As we closed our doors this morning and walked
freely through the church door, other doors slammed
behind other people, and they do not know if or when
they will open again: doors in prison cells and torture
chambers; doors separating families, doors in labor
camp units. Let us ask Christ, who came to set all
people free, to enable us to experience his freedom
and to bring freedom to others. Amen.
