Be Encouraged by God's Word
As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

- Matthew 4:18-22, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Pray Together with Us

Take, Lord, all my liberty.
Receive my memory, my understanding,
   and my whole will.
Whatever I have and possess,
   you have given to me;
   to you I will restore it wholly,
   and to your will
   I utterly surrender it for my direction.
Give me the love of you only, with your grace,
   and I shall be rich enough;
nor do I ask anything besides.

- Ignatius of Loyola
