Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boat in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope and hope down not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.(Romans 5:1-5, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!(John Wesley)
Pray Together with Us:
Hear our prayer, O Lord:

all those who bow their heads before you.
Through the grace, mercy and love
of your only-begotten Son,
to whom with you and your most holy,
gracious and life-giving Spirit
be blessing now and for ever,
to the ages of ages. Amen.(Eastern Orthodox Church)

What then are we going to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we to might walk in newness of life.(Romans 6:1-4, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Jesus' resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.(N. T. Wright)
Pray Together with Us:
God the Father bless me, Christ guard me, the Holy Spirit enlighten me, all the days of my life.  The Lord be the defender and guardian of my soul and my body, now and ever, and world without end. Amen.(From the Book of Cerne (9th century))

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.(Romans 8:1-2, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.(Mother Teresa)
