St. Augustine
1 John 4:7-15. Matthew 2:8-12

True greatness comes through acknowledgement of and commitment to the Lord of all creation without whom there is no reality or progress in eternal life. Love enters heart and mind which open to the Word the Father speaks to all who seek for truth in faith and trust and self-giving.

The will and loving purpose of the Lord of all is revealed in His whole creation. I, His beloved and loving Son, left the Father’s side to enter in the created world and be His redeeming love to all born into it; and I offer My incarnate life, My death and My risen life to all who will receive and respond in the grace and power of Our indwelling.

Receive, then, the Father’s love in self-giving to Him and to His created world according to His will and loving purpose. So will you increasingly become part of His new creation in fellowship with all who share the mystery and the joy of eternal life in Him in whom you live and love and have your being . In humility ad joy respond to the Father’s word and love as you are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.
