Wednesday, August 17th.
Jesus prayed, "……Holy Father, keep through Thine own Name those whom Thou have given Me, that they may be one as We are one".
John 17:11

The Kingdom of this world is the Father's Kingdom, loved into creation by His Being. And every atom of the fabric of the world is kept in existence by His ongoing purpose and His purposeful love. The fulfilled purpose is the gathering into His loving embrace all that offers to Him the free-willed offering of its natural, redeemed being : for the natural world this is an unimpeded progress, for the human a supranatural, atoned fulfilment. And all glorifies the Father in and through love.

And this process is at work even now in the experience of mortality : indeed, according to the temporal reaction to the loving challenge to life in sacrificial love is the fulfilment in glory.

As it is with the individual so it is with the group, the community and - above all - with My Church. There I seek to live dynamically in the hearts and minds and wills of the totally committed to the Father's love. There I would draw together in dynamic life all who seek the Father's will, extending the boundaries of His Kingdom and the power of his love.

The Father and I are one, and all who are Mine are one with the Father, bound together in love through our Holy , Ineffable Spirit. Pray to be oned with all that the Father has created and redeemed in Me.
