Pay constant heed to point and purpose in thought and living: all that is given is for the building up of person, community and the Father's Kingdom. So nothing should be refused without due thought and care regarding its identity and purpose in the Father's plan. Often it is necessary to walk in faith and trust, seeing only the immediate future, not understanding the end. No matter. He who reveals all things will make plain in due time all that is maturing in the Father's strategy of love and salvation : nothing is too small to be a vital part of the whole. Often the seemingly small things have far-reaching import. And there are some wonderful surprises on the way.

Keep faith, then, and walk in love, frequently looking to the Lord of all life for meaning, sustenance and orientation. And know that My Presence is with you, the favour of My Beloved Mother, with her prayers, alongside you. Be encouraged and fortified. Continue to love in faith and trust.
