Be Encouraged by God's Word
In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

- Matthew 3:1-2, 11-12, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
The way of Jesus cannot be imposed or mapped — it requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in the hesitations and questionings, in the pauses and reflections where we engage in prayerful conversation with one another and with him.

Pray Together with Us

May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over. and our work is done! Then, in his mercy, may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last!

- John Henry Newman
