I suffer in and enfold, bless and strengthen each child of man and all peoples who are afflicted with the trials and tribulations of this mortal life. Out of the pain and dereliction I bring hope and life , and those so afflicted are bound together through the power of Our Holy Spirit : this bonding brings along the weak with the strong, and many rejoice now in the near Presence of the Father who would scarcely have attained but for the corporate action which issued from the dereliction and pain.

It is the duty and privilege of all whose ways are easy by comparison with those so afflicted to exercise their heart and mind in caring and intercessory oblation for the suffering ones of the world. In a way which cannot easily be understood by the eyes of the mind but which becomes increasingly clear as the path of yoked identification is taken - as it is given - the grievous suffering of the afflicted is eased, their commitment strengthened and their beings enlarged by the disciplined sacrificial acts of love which many call intercession. Herein is solidarity in love which prefigures the joyful situation in the courts of Heaven.
