Be Encouraged by God's Word
All of these died in faith without having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth, for people who speak in this way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; indeed, he has prepared a city for them.

- Hebrews 11:13-16, NSRV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

- Soren Kierkegaard

Pray Together with Us
How great is your goodness, dear Lord!
Blessed are you for ever!
May all created things praise you, O God,
for loving us so much that we can truthfully speak?
Of your fellowship with mankind, even in this earthly exile;/
and however virtuous we may be,
our virtue always depends on your great warmth
and generosity, dear Lord.
Your bounty is infinite.
How wonderful are your works!

- Teresa Avila
