Jesus said,
" How blest are those whose heart
is pure, they shall see God"
Matthew 5.8
Integrity of thought and action
are not easily achieved : a lifetime
of committed searching thought and
work are scarcely enough to achieve
it in a human soul. But through
the light of our Holy Spirit and
deep communion with me at the heart
of the seeking child of the Father,
purity of heart can be and is gained
by not a few.
And they are happy who are in the
way of achieving it, who have in
some measure already obtained, for
they know in depth the eternal truths
which sustain and progress their
journey through life. So they are
fulfilled even as they journey,
and increasingly they are aware
of the great reward of all who attain
, namely the Presence f their Heavenly
Father . Though veiled in the beginning
of their journey they increasingly
know the contours of His face .
And at the dissolution of their
mortal body they see and recognise
the face of Love which they had
dimly perceived along the way.
So it should be known and understood
that the way of singleness of mind
and purpose is the path to the fulfilled
life, even in pain and suffering,
and the promise of eternal joy in
the presence of the Heavenly Father
and the company of angels and all
who have persevered and continued
faithful in love to the end.
