Bartolome de la Casas (1474-1566) Dominican Friar and Missionary from Spain

                                                       Psalm 32:10

Do not be like horse
+ mule

who have no understanding;

but must fitted with bit + bridle; 

or else they will not stay near you.

Pray today For
the native peoples
of South + Central 

America; For those who fight against slavery + oppression; For an increased sens-itivity to human rights; + For justice + recon-cilation among
all peoples.*

as are most of the the prayer suggestions on the blog- a fabulous book!)
