"This
is My Son, My Chosen, Listen to Him"
Luke
9:35
He speaks in the continuous creation
of matter and of form, of substance
and in essence. Look and listen,
He speaks through His incarnate
life and its record in Scripture
and in the lives of those committed
to His life and teaching in all
times and peoples. Hear Him.
He speaks in His redeeming love
in His perpetual suffering for the
sins of the world and He calls from
the cross of Calvary to each and
every one to respond to his offer
of forgiveness.
Listen and respond, sons and daughters
of His love.
He speaks in the life-giving act
of resurrection, bringing abundant
life to all who will receive it.
For despair He brings hope, for
sadness, joy. Hear and accept all
who look for a fuller life.
He speaks in the daily comings
and goings of the life of each and
every child of the Father, sharing
the joys and the pain, the persistent
aggravations of the things that
detract from joy. Look for Him,
and receive strengthening and understanding
.
Listen, look and respond with your
whole being to the Lord of life
and fulfilment.
