Jesus prayed, "My God, My God, why didst Thou forsake Me?"
Mark 15:34

The Father's world was and is created for joy . Beauty and light and fulfilment are hallmarks of His perfect creation.

But it is fallen and has contained the deadly poison of evil since the beginning of human life on earth. And so a second creation was and is called for which redeems those who identify with its challenge and its hope.

And I have been the Source of this new creation ever since the beginning. Through and in Me is the restoration, renewal and the gift of sanctified perfection.

The way is suffering , and in time I entered the world of men to love and, through painful offering , restore all in hope for the children of the Father.

All the Father's children may take hold of this garment of transformation and wear it through life and beyond - this garment of salvation. And to them is
given the invitation and challenge to share in the creation of garments of salvation for others.

Such sharing is not without its hardship and pain. How could it be otherwise ? And the measure varies according to the disposition of each and ability and to the Father's will. But as each shares the cry of dereliction from the cross in this commitment so does He identify and rejoice in the statement of joy and of fulfilment "It is accomplished".
