St. Stephen
Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into Heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing t God's right hand ……. As they were stoning him Stephen said in invocation, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Acts 6, 7

From the centre of the soul of My committed followers I empower the mind and heart, and endow the understanding with the insight of Reality. My Presence, through the power of Our Holy Spirit, fulfils the Father's will and loving purpose both in the personality of My committed ones and in their actions. So Stephen witnessed to Our saving, sanctifying love in revealing love in action and in offering his faithfulness in martyrdom.

His faithfulness and that of many in countless generations has been the means of the extension of My loving reign and of the Father's Kingdom. The outreach may be traced in history, but the impact of the witness of the faithful on the hearts and minds of those receiving it is known to Us alone. And it will be revealed when eternity succeeds to time.

The souls of all the faithful are always in the Father's hands. No hurt can come to them. And death is but the gate to life and to fulfilment of the vision of the faithful in the glorious, loving Presence f the Father.
