John Vianney
Ezekiel 3:16-21. Matthew 9:35-10:1
(Jeremiah 26:1-9.Matthew 13:54-58.)

The Father speaks constantly and ceaselessly to each one of His beloved sons and daughters and they respond according to their openness to truth and to their willingness to change and be changed into the pattern of Our likeness and to the Father's will and loving purpose for them. This takes a lifetime of endeavour, often facing failure, continually being renewed and re-established in the way in the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying love.

Each one is called to be Our word of truth and joy and peace to others through their obedience and faithfulness to Our word in them. Through My indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit the faithful and the true of heart will become Our life and light and joy to others: We will complete in you and in them all that is required. So has it been in times past, so shall it be until the end of time. And the faithful in love and in self-giving will be in Us and We in them for ever.
