Saturday’s Reflection
IT IS OUR JOB as adults, and most especially as people of faith, to nurture and protect children, to ensure that power is not abused and the vulnerable don’t suffer injustice. God expects no less of us.
Dear God, my sure and strong defender, help me to defend children. Make me a bold voice for the voiceless and powerful advocate for the powerless. Amen.
