We ourselves
saw and we testify that the Father
sent
His Son as saviour of the world
1 John
4:17
Love is the meaning and the power
of all things spiritual and material,
invisible and visible, of all created
and uncreate. Let all the sons of
men consider this and ponder it
within their hearts and minds, and
let it be the mainspring of their
lives, the springboard of all action,
the fabric and consistency of all
relationship.
But gently come to worship at the
shrine of Love Incarnate, and with
humility. Adore and worship Him
who has the innocence and vulnerability
of a helpless baby in an ox's stall.
And let the imprint of this experience
in truth be stamped upon your soul.
So will you become a place where
incarnate Love takes up His throne
and sovereignty to rule in love
and joy and peace.
And from that centre Love will
save according to the Father's will
and loving purpose. Suffering and
all contrary experience will be
caught up in that great offering
of Saving Love. For as Incarnate
love grew to maturity, died for
each child of man and rose to life
eternal, so does He grow in human
heart and mind. So does He bring
the faithful, trusting follower
into the Father's Presence to rejoice
in Perfect Love for evermore.
