Proverbs 22:22 (NRSV)

Devotion
Still today, the poor are poor because the powerful use their economic power to exploit them. Still today, the needy are indeed crushed in court every day under layers of systemic traps and without adequate legal resources. Proverbs, as much today as in ancient Israel, challenges us not to go along with these unjust realities.
Prayer
Oh God of Justice, help all of us use the power of your word to fight injustice. Amen.
