Sunday, March 12th
The Greeks who went to worship at the Festival approached Philip and said, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus." Philip went to tell Andrew and the two of them went to tell Jesus. And Jesus replied: "....if anyone serves Me he must follow Me and where I am there will My servant be also .....And when I am lifted up I shall draw all people to Myself"
John 12:20-33

Learn from Philip , My beloved apostle, the importance of solidarity in bringing to My Presence the Father's children who seek the truth. The Greeks had heard of Me and had stood on the outer fringe of those who listened to My teaching. So were they drawn to seek one who was near to Me and he, with his brother, sought My presence on their behalf. So together We were enabled to work for the instruction and enlightenment of those Greeks which in turn extended the Father's Kingdom. And the teaching I gave them I gave to all who were present at that time. And it has been presented to each and every follower of Mine down the ages even to the present day. Never has there been a time when it was more necessary to consider and study and embrace it. For there is no life save in death to the self: the life which springs from dying to the self will flourish and produce increasingly, even to eternity. And he who follows in My steps will identify with my suffering love, increasingly enlightened by Our Holy Spirit and empowered by Our grace. As I am lifted up from the earth, drawing all men to Myself, so are My beloved, faithful ones lifted with me. And as they lovingly and faithfully share My saving work so will the Father honour them as I lead them to His Nearer Presence.
