Jesus said,
"Love the Lord with all you soul
and with all you mind and with all
you strength …… and love
your neighbour as yourself."
Mark
12:28-34
No-one can love that which he does
not know, nor know that which he
does not set out to discover. So
must each and every beloved child
of the Father seek and search for
meaning and purpose so that he may
be found in the way, guided, enlightened,
and filled with Our love according
to the measure of his commitment.
And as he opens himself to receive
Our love, so will he respond in
joyful self-giving, and receive
the knowledge and love which seeks
and needs. And with that increasing
love and knowledge will come the
will and the power to accomplish
that which will be required of him
for his growth and well-being, and
for the Father's Kingdom. Faults
and failures will be but temporary
set-backs on the way and can be
made the means of progress as forgiveness
is sought and the occasions and
weakness put behind.
And Our love will become the bonding
between each faithful, committed
child of the Father, Our love flowing
in each. As it is replenished and
recharged through prayer and communion
and commitment, so will it refresh
and strengthen and become a means
of growth and a sign of the reality
of the Father's Kingdom.
