22nd
(In His
prayer to the Father) Jesus said,
"I have made known to the men
You took from the world to give Me….I
pray for them because they belong
to You. All I have is Yours and all
You have is Mine and in them I am
glorified."
John
17:6-10
All I have and am are the Father's
and the Father is Mine, because
We are one in purpose and fulfilment
though separate in identity. And
Our Holy Spirit is the bonding love
which unites and pulsates in creative
energy to initiate and perfect all
that the Father wills.
Every child of the Father who responds
to the call of loving commitment
to the Father's initiative is taken
into the dynamic, cosmic course
of Our universal joy in a progressive
orientation to eternity. All creation
is in some way part of this eternal
progression. The children of men
the Father has singled out for the
peculiar blessing of a perpetual
sharing in the joy-making of Our
Being.
So is the Father glorified and
all His creation with Him both in
Heaven and on earth. And I am bound
in a closeness which can only be
felt and experienced with all who
ally themselves with those things
which they see and know to be purposeful
and right. And all who so identify
are bonded to one another in the
joy and peace which grows to eternity
and passes all knowledge.
