St. Matthew
As Jesus
was walking on He saw a man named
Matthew sitting at the customs house,
and He said, "Follow Me".
And he got up and followed Him
Matthew
9:9
I am the Father's love to His created
world. In love the Father made the
world before time was, for love
He fashioned it, and through love
He draws it to Himself as love responds
to love. With Him and Holy Spirit
in creation I entered His created
world and through My Incarnate life
and death and resurrection redeemed,
and with Our Holy Spirit, sanctify
all that seeks perfection and fulfilment.
In this great work and cosmic,
loving purpose of the Father I,
the Incarnate Word, the Father's
only Son, beloved before time was
and through eternal ages, identified.
So do I call each son of man to
identify with Me in love and faithfulness
as each I constantly approach and
challenge in life's way.
Follow Me! I say to each and every
child of man whoever lived, making
Myself known in things familiar
and through the Father's other children
near and far. Each is accountable
to that within himself that speaks
of truth and love and faithfulness.
I am the Word revealing and imparting
the Father's dynamic, all-embracing
love to all who will accept, respond,
and follow in the way.
