Daily Prayer for October 6th, 2008 

May our words be interpreted in a way that offers wisdom and hope, we pray

Man’s accidents are God’s purposes, attributed to Sophia Hawthorne, 1843. Our need for words of wisdom like this is ancient, as old as ‘the wisdom of the ages’ itself, which is why the aphorism is the oldest written art form on the planet.

– James Geary
