St. Mary Magdalene
For anyone who is in Christ there is a new creation: the old creation is gone,
and now the new one is here
2 Corinthians 5:14-17

I died that all might live. My death in time secured the birth and life of every child of the loving Heavenly Father who dies to sin and self. And there must be a death to self that I may rise and live and grow in each who lives in love and trust and faithfulness. Such is a lifetime’s work: all is not accomplished in a day.

But as each of the Father’s children committed to My life through death to self grows into the creation designed for him before time was so does he find fulfilment and maturity as he progresses in the way. Failures and setbacks he will suffer but I am present in them all to set him back upon the way in loving steadfastness.

And as each grows into his new creation he will discover how to share My load of suffering. And this will be his joy and his fulfilment, My gift to those who are faithful to the end.

And so each unit of My new creation will be built into the fabric of the whole, perfected and united in the glory of the Father’s Presence and in the transformation of all things in love.
