St Bernard
Jesus prayed, "Holy Father, I pray .... for those who through their words will believe in Me. May they all be one, Father, as You are in Me and I am in You, so that the world may believe it was You who sent Me… Me in them and You in Me … that the love with which You love Me may be in them and so that I may be in them"
John 17:21, 26

There is a centre in each human heart and mind, for so the loving Father has ordained and fashioned it. The task of each of His beloved children is to find that priceless pearl, that seed of truth and fact which He desires to give to everyone who comes into the world. As it is desired so is it given, and with the gifts offered all the means of growth for its maturity and its perfection within the character and personality of each embracing and progressing it. This is a lifelong process, not fully realised until the soul proceeds beyond this life and is received into eternity.

I am the Father's Word and Truth and Love Incarnate. Our Holy Spirit His power and light. And though We are His dynamic, vibrant Presence in the world of men, yet are We ceaselessly with Him throughout eternity. And so it is that those on earth whom He has created as potential images of His perfection when time is ended and all accomplished are courteously invited to be Our life and truth and love in His created world through the power of Our Indwelling. Those who faithfully respond in absolute commitment are one with Us and with all the faithful of all times as they identify with Our saving, suffering, victorious life and love.
