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.
