Be Encouraged by God’s Word
. . . he has given us new birth . . . into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
— 1 Peter 1:3-5, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
It is not the religious act that makes the Christian, but participation in the suffering of God in the secular life . . . living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures, experiences and perplexities. In so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God.
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Pray Together with Us
O everlasting Light, surpassing all created luminaries, flash lightning from above, piercing all the most inward parts of my heart. Make clean, make glad, make bright and make alive my spirit, that I may cleave unto Thee in ecstasies of joy.
— Thomas a Kempis
