One More Day!

Pilgrims and Strangers

 

'We are pilgrims and strangers on earth. 

Pilgrims sleep in tents

and sometimes cross deserts, 

but the thought of their homeland 

makes them forget everything else.'

Charles de Foucauld




Painting: John Singer Sargent, A Tent in the Rockies

In Every Moment

'O my God, grant that I may offer You in a spirit of sacrifice and in Your honor all the thoughts, words and actions of each day, my activity, my very being.  I beg that it may all be a sacrifice that will please You, and so make me a perpetual victim of a sacrifice that will be present in every moment of the day.'   Charles de Foucauld

Painting:  Peter Ilsted, Woman Reading by Candlelight, 1908
