                                                    St. Clare
                                                    Philippians 
                                                    3:8-14. Matthew 19:27-29  
                                                    All obedient to the law 
                                                      of right thinking and right 
                                                      action - as they are able 
                                                      to identify it - are offered 
                                                      greater good as they keep 
                                                      mind and heart open and 
                                                      active in the way. I come 
                                                      that all may have life and 
                                                      have it in abundance - such 
                                                      is the Father's will and 
                                                      loving purpose - and I bring 
                                                      a far greater good than 
                                                      obedience to a given law 
                                                      can ever give, with power 
                                                      and joy in progressing in 
                                                      it. Such is the Father's 
                                                      gift through My offering 
                                                      of Myself in life and death 
                                                      and through My risen life 
                                                      offered to all faithfully 
                                                      committed in Our redeeming, 
                                                      sanctifying love.
                                                    But all receiving My redemptive 
                                                      love and risen life know 
                                                      that they needs must strive 
                                                      to follow in the pattern 
                                                      of My earthly life and receive 
                                                      the grace and power of My 
                                                      death that I may bring them 
                                                      to the fulness of the Father 
                                                      in His eternal Kingdom. 
                                                      And this is painful joy 
                                                      and joyous pain for all 
                                                      faithful and obedient in 
                                                      the way.
                                                    Press on, then, beloved 
                                                      of Me and of the Father: 
                                                      I speak to all faithful 
                                                      in the way. So shall We 
                                                      give you the prize of your 
                                                      high calling. Remember, 
                                                      I am with you till the end 
                                                      of time.
