St John
Vianney
Jesus made
a tour through all the town and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming
the Good news of the Kingdom and curing
all kinds of diseases and sickness
Matthew
9:35
The Father has created all for
joy and for perfection. And man
He has created to enjoy and participate
in the creation of the human world,
in time to be the first fruits of
His new creation and in eternity
to share the joys of Heaven.
I, the Heavenly Father's Beloved
Son, entered the human world to
show for all times the perfect human
model. Through all the stages of
the human life I travelled and experienced
all the joys and pains which man
endures. Only old age I did not
know because man's evil choice prevented
me, and sin I fought and overcame
for every man whoever lived. Sin
I encountered but never entertained.
And through My life and death and
resurrection I have renewed the
Father's glorious creation which
man had spoiled, and offer it in
hope and promise to generations
yet to come. To receive and enter
it each child of man needs but to
look and listen hard and long to
that which he hears at his heart's
centre, and to respond in love and
faith and trust.
And as each soul takes to himself
Our saving, sanctifying love, so
is he commissioned to become Our
healing and Our wholeness to others,
and Our joy to all who travel in
the way.
