Jesus said, "If anyone hits you on the right cheek offer him the other as well …. If anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him"
Matthew 5:39

You are not your own if you have freely given yourself to the good purpose of the Father's will. What you will increasingly bring to all you are given to do is an increasingly mature self-hood in the power of My redemption and of My risen life. All that you are given to do and to suffer is for the gathering of the Father's harvest in your place, and you are a part of the Father's Kingdom. So it is with each an every one of the Father's children.

Recall, particularly in dark and difficult moments, that you not alone. As you encounter problems within or without, call upon the power of Our Presence, the love of Our Being. And be aware of the solidarity of My Church in prayer and witness. Align yourself with the paean of praise, the intensity and inclusiveness of intercession which is ceaselessly being offered by My faithful ones the world over.

Give yourself without reserve to the Father in and through My saving love, so that He may use you for His purpose in the world and to His honour and glory.
