Eccls. 5:1-8. Mark 9:41-50

Commitment to the Father's will is the way to abundant living. Pray for sensitivity in perceiving the way forward in becoming and in doing, and for strength of purpose in fulfilling it. I am at hand at all times to enlighten and empower the single-minded. When you fail or falter in the way show true contrition which will be given you as you desire it. And forgiveness with reinstatement will be yours and renewed grace for all that you are called upon to suffer and to do.

The faithfully committed in Our love are called to be both power and inspiration to community in the strength of Our redeeming, sanctifying love. As they continue faithful and
committed so do they enable Us to use them to extend and to consolidate the Father's Kingdom where they are. Not that they have intrinsic power and virtue: their faithfulness and single-mindedness are the means of Our empowering.

Be faithful, then , in all things , and committed to the Father's will in all things.
