Daily Prayer for September 5th, 2007 

Let us enjoy the fruits of our labors this day

If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion is no part of the Christian faith.

Daily Prayer for August 29th, 2007 

May each one of us resist any temptation toward vengeance; let us pray

Vengeance is a passion to get even. It is a hot desire to give back as much pain as someone gave you. The problem with vengeance is that it never gets what it wants; it never evens the score.

– Philip Yancey
