St. Luke, Evangelist
The Lord appointed seventy-two others to go ahead of him . He said to them, "Cure those who are sick and say, 'the Kingdom of God is very near'
2 Timothy 4:10-17. Luke 10:1-9

The Kingdom of your Heavenly Father is given to all who honour His Name and walk in the way He purposes for them. And it is His loving hope that all the sons and daughters of the earth whom He has created will become inheritors of His Kingdom, taking full and active citizenship in it. And countless numbers have lived and worked and died fully participating in the life and challenges put before them. Constantly men and women and children enter in by choice and commitment.

To each and everyone is given that which will bind them together with each other in the progressive life of the kingdom on earth in the service of the Father. And many are invited to participate in making whole whose wholeness in mind or body is incomplete . All are called to care and pray for these, in general and particular.

Through the deep compassion of the children of the Kingdom of the Father and empowered by prayer and commitment to the Father's will and loving purpose many have been and are and will be brought to the threshold of the Father's Kingdom, awaiting their response to the constant loving invitation to full participation.
