Today is All Saints Day. We remember those who have gone before us in the faith. For whom do you give thanks? We invite you to name them in the comments in thanksgiving for their witness.

Today is St. Nicholas Day. Nicholas of Myra was a bishop in present-day Turkey. Legends that surround Nicholas tell of his love for God and neighbor, especially... the poor. He was famous for his generosity, and so has become a symbol of anonymous gift-giving. [Photo: A depiction of St. Nicholas at Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church, Madaba, Jordan.]

Our Saints in light, like us, are part of the Body of Christ #dailydevotion #LivingLutheran #elca

Today is Reformation Day! By the end of the seventeenth century, many Lutheran churches celebrated a festival commemorating Martin Luther's posting of the Ninet...y-five Theses, a summary of abuses in the church of his time. At the heart of the reform movement was the gospel, the good news that it is by grace through faith that we are justified and set free. (Bread for the Day 2020, p. 415) See more

[Jesus said], ’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandmen...t. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22:37-40). See more
