Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

- James 2:14-17, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

- John Bunyan

Pray Together with Us

Be, Lord Jesus, a bright flame before me,
guiding star above me,
a smooth path below me,
a kindly shepherd behind me:
today, tonight, and forever.

- St. Columba
