VERSE AND VOICE FROM SOJOURNERS 5APR25

 

Verse of the day You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt. - Deuteronomy 24:14-15 Voice of the day Honor the hands that harvest your crops. - Dolores Huerta Prayer of the day May we honor the hands that harvest our crops by upholding justice and compassion, ensuring fair wages and dignity for every laborer.
