The Pilgrim
The One to Trust
by Paul Massop
Who do I trust? I trust he who took away sins for all mankind, that so whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I trust him to make a straight and narrow path for his beloved children. He protects his people. He said "no weapon against me shall prosper." Not only do I trust him, I love him. We can't fully understand the Lord through the Bible, but if you have a personal relationship with him, he will answer your questions because as he said: Ask and it shall be opened, seek and you shall find.
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Blackseed Writers Group. Sign up for an annual print subscription for $25 by designating your gift to the Monday Lunch Program on our giving page (make sure you specify that your gift is for a Pilgrim Subscription), or send a check to the Cathedral Offices with "Pilgrim Subscription" in the memo line.
