Be Encouraged by God's Word
When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

— Matthew 20:24-28, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Pray Together with Us

I am not now mine, but thine. Therefore, claim me as thy right, keep my as thy charge, and love me as thy child. Fight for me when I am assaulted, heal me when I am wounded, and revive me when I am destroyed.

— John Cosin (1594-1672)
