May 2nd
Prayer is the task of greatest
priority for all who seek
to serve the Father and
who care about the welfare
and well-being of their
fellowmen. To pray is to
be open to the Father in
all the varying ways that
are needful. Through the
openness of the faithful
child the Father reveals
Himself. His will tends
and encourages the soul
in growth, constantly builds
His Kingdom on earth and
in Heaven. And in and through
the whole operation I identify
and work and save and love.
By Our loving, penetrating
Holy Spirit all is lighted
and enabled and transformed
into eternity.
This is the content and
glorious burden of the message
to be preached to My children
who at present thrive in
material prosperity but
waste away in spiritual
life. The souls of many
are wasted because they
lack the spiritual sustenance
and the commitment to the
life of the spirit. They
pile up riches while living
in spiritual poverty.
The solemn task of my Church
today is first to seek the
quality of life in the spirit
which will build up their
souls for the service of
the Heavenly Father in love.
This will instantaneously
bring light and guidance
and purpose to the tasks
ahead. It will be given
them what they should do
to help build and develop
the spiritual life of others
and as it will be shown
them. The poor and needy
of the nation and of the
world will be reached through
the search for the Father's
loving purpose - and commitment
to it.
