Friday, April 11, 2025
    Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878
Meditation:
    Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.
    —Zephaniah 2:3 (NIV)
Quotation:
