2 Timothy
3:14-17. Matthew 13:47-52
The Lord your God is holy, powerful
to fulfil His will and loving purpose
in all who seek His word in the
power of His holiness and commitment
to His word through Love’s
indwelling and the light and guiding
of Our Holy Spirit. Obedience to
His word and faithfulness in and
through His love are the way the
truth, the life to knowledge, understanding
and wisdom, and they are given as
they are sought in faithfulness
and love and in absolute self-giving.
Pray, then, for guidance in your
seeking, faithfulness in the way,
and understanding as the way, the
truth, the life are opened up to
you. I, the Father’s Word
and Love Incarnate speak to every
one of the Father’s beloved
sons and daughters. I am The Way,
The Truth The Life.
Through diligence in seeking truth
in and through the inspired, written
word, knowledge and understanding
are given to all continuing faithful
in the Way; ‘in quietness
and in confidence shall be your
strength’ (Isaiah 30:15).
In openness to the Father’s
all-embracing love the faithful
and the true of heart are brought
to perfection and fulfilment in
and through the grace and power
of Love’s indwelling in the
fulness of eternity.

of no mortal has ever known’
(St. Augustine).
