Colossians 2: 2-3

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Lord, we thank you for the progress that Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge are making in language school. Thank you that they have graduated to Intermediate Level 2. We pray that they continue to make good advances in their knowledge of Spanish and in getting around in Lima. We pray also, Lord, that they continue to grow spiritually. May they be encouraged in heart and united in love and come to a deeper understanding of the mystery and the marvel that is Jesus Christ, the fount of all wisdom and knowledge. Amen.
