Be Encouraged by God's Word
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

— John 8:31-32, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to your own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinions of others. Though your own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God you waive it, and follow that of another, you shall profit more.

—Thomas à Kempis

Pray Together with Us

God, of your goodness, give me Yourself;
for You are enough for me,
and I can ask for nothing less
that can bring full honor to You.
And if I ask anything that is less,
ever shall I be in want,
for only in You have I all.

—Julian of Norwich
