Be Encouraged by God’s Word
...those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
— Romans 8:14-15, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
The gift purifies the heart. That means the destruction of the body of sin, the removal of the carnal mind. It is more than a housecleaning. This gift is the gift of himself. The house is cleansed, purified, in order to receive the Guest.
— Phineas F. Bresee
Pray Together with Us
I've told you, Lord:
I'm afraid that human beings,
becoming omnipotent through science,
will finish by forgetting you,
and will gradually destroy themselves
by doing without you.
But it occurs to me today,
that I'm a long way from giving you
the place that you ought to have
in my own life.
— Michel Quoist
