Mary said, "Holy is His Name"
Luke 1:49

Nothing defiled may enter the Presence of the Most High for He is Perfection and the crown of all perfections. Yet He has created all things in Heaven and earth : His earthly creation, and most particularly man himself, is perpetually prone to rebellion from the loving purpose and the contingency of wrong choice. And I, as Love Incarnate, have become the means through whom the Father's child may come into His Presence. My death destroys the gulf between man's imperfect state and the Father's holiness for all who will but take it to their soul and apply it in their life. My risen life supplies the drive and power and all that is required in life's way.

Let all who know My Name and call Me 'Lord' recalling how I grew in human form in Nazareth allow My growth in them from day to day. So will they grow in depth and understanding and see and know what things they ought to do as children of the Father's world. And that holiness which they perceive and honour in the Father will one day be their birth-right in the perfect Kingdom of the Father's love.
