Do not seek peace and it
will be bestowed on you
as you persevere in that
which is to be done and
suffered. Have you not always
unfailingly found throughout
your life that all is supplied
for the working through
of all things ? So will
it be so as long as your
need remains which is the
end of your life-span on
earth.
And this applies to all
for whom you work and care
and suffer. Nothing is wasted
of any good action or response
to need of any child of
the Father. Deep caring
of the heart is registered
by the Father as well as
formalised prayer : and
practical action prompted
by Our Holy Spirit is the
highest form of intercessory
prayer , for it is the readiness
and willingness combined
with the action to remedy
whatever contrary situation
prevails in the person or
people concerned.
But there is a difference
between caring which issues
in beseeching the love of
the Father and healing of
Our Holy Spirit through
care and action and allowing
yourself to be debilitated
by anxiety and drawn into
the maelstrom of despair
sometimes engendered by
deep suffering.
All right loving and prayer
and action in love must
be seen to be constructive
in every way. And let it
be understood that not invariably
the Father's answer to the
loving solicitude of individual
and groups for a suffering
person or people is to take
them to Himself in the loving
embrace of death.
