John said, "Behold the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world… I have seen and bare witness that This is God's Chosen One."
John 1:25, 34

See the Well-Beloved of the Father in time and eternity. symbol of perfection, token of offering. As the spotless lamb designated for sacrifice exemplifies that perfection which the Father is and invites, so does it invoke that challenge to sacrifice and self-giving which brings about, in the fullness of time and eternity, the Father's glorious, loving purpose.

Such was the design of the Father before time was. So is it now and will be until all is gathered into the fullness of joy when sorrowing and sadness are no more.

And all who are faithful to the Father's glorious, loving purpose are caught up in that cosmic, dynamic process in and through My Saving Love and the light and power of Our Blessed Holy Spirit

There is no way to perfection save through self-giving in love and sacrifice. And I am the love and the sacrifice, the Father's way of perfection for the children of men and the Father's glory.
