who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter.

--Isaiah 5:20

Pilate took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood."

Daily Prayer

Righteous God, You are good and Your Words bring life. May I be one who hungers and thirsts for righteousness. May I live in peace, in so far as I am able. But, if something is wrong, may I be a defender of right, a defender of justice. May I be one who speaks up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of the poor and the needy.

May I never wash my hands of what is right and just and good.

Amen
