Jesus answered
"Hear O Israel, the Lord Our
God is the only Lord ; love the Lord
your God with all your heart , with
all your soul, with all your mind
,and with all your strength, and your
neighbour as yourself."
Matthew
8:5-17
If all the children the world over
would listen to and address themselves
to this basic twofold statement
of the ancient Jewish law peace
and joy would soon be their reward.
All hostilities and animosities
would cease and the dire needs of
My beloved, frail and needy ones
would soon be met.
But even my committed ones fail
to unite in obeying this basic twofold
law, so often preferring their own
apparent needs and their personal
aggrandisement to the honouring
of the Father and the succour of
those in need.
Wake up all you who claim to be
followers in the way! Turn in your
tracks you who are pursuing unrewarding
paths and those who teeter perilously
on the brink of destruction! Embrace
the love which is offered you to
live your life in constructive participation
of the Father's cosmic purpose.
Bind yourselves to Him in love and
obedience; seek My indwelling and
the light and direction of Our Holy
Spirit. So will you become deeply
united with those of your fellowmen
and women who are similarly committed.
And I will reach
out through all so committed to
the wanderers and to all who are
lost in the way.
