Be Encouraged by God's Word
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me."

— Matthew 18:1-5, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

God walks with the humble; he reveals himself to the lowly; he gives understanding to the little ones; he discloses his meaning to pure minds, but hides his grace from the curious and the proud.

— Thomas á Kempis

Pray Together with Us

Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high,
That he, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm today.

All praise to you, creator Lord!
All praise to you, eternal Word!
All praise to you, O Spirit wise!
We sing as daylight fills the skies.

— 5th Century Prayer
