Jesus
said, " Ask and it will
be given you, seek and you
will find , knock and it will
be opened to you".
Luke
11:9
"The Father will give
the Holy Spirit to those who
ask".
Luke
11:13
The spirit of truth and
of love is that which encompasses
and enlivens , tends and
enables to growth and maturity
of all that lives. And it
is the great gift of the
Father to His beloved children
that Our Holy Spirit comes,
as he is invited, and works
within the innermost recesses
of the heart and soul -
as He is given leave. And
He beautifies and refines
as he works within in co-operation
with the very core of the
will which He strengthens
and enables.
Ask, seek, knock. No single
child of the Father who
ever looked in hope has
ever been refused or turned
away, however tentative
the approach or tenuous
the hold. Have We not said
through Our servant Isaiah,"
underneath are the everlasting
arms"? All who approach
Our Holy Spirit are not
only drawn by Truth and
Love, they are also contained
by the safety net of Our
embrace. So all who continue
true of heart are safe to
the end.
This does not mean that
there will be no setbacks,
failures and mistakes. These
will be there often in their
multitude. Our child must
apply the same solution
at each and every setback
: ask, seek, find. And in
every case the harm or hurt
will not only be remedied
: the very contrary event
will be the occasion of
strengthening and advance
in the life of the spirit.
So with suffering of all
kinds which needs must be,
but united with My crucified
, risen love will overcome
the world"
