Be Encouraged by God's Word
We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. So then, each of us will be accountable to God.

— Romans 14:7-10, 12, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.

— N. T. Wright

Pray Together with Us

By your sufferings and by your death, I am stirred by your love in such a way that even without hope of heaven, I shall love you; and without any fear of hell, I shall fear you. Naught you need give me that I may love you; for even without hoping for the hope that is mine, I shall love you.

— St. Francis Xavier
