Mark
6:7-13
Each child of man is called into
a true and lively sonship with the
Father and to his own unique identity
and character and purpose. And all
is to be found through My redeeming
love and the light and guiding of
our Holy Spirit. The Father lovingly
and comprehensively provides for
each and every one of His beloved
children: in many and various ways
He brings His faithful, trusting
sons and daughters into the knowledge
and the understanding of his love
and of His loving purpose. And at
the end of time it will be seen
that all ways converged, all souls
united in their redeemed and glorious
diversity. The way is service of
the Father and of the children of
His love according to His will and
loving purpose. His gifts for service
are to be found through love and
through self-giving, constantly
found, received and implemented
through prayer and through silent
contemplation.
And so the Gospel will be preached
through those who give themselves
to Our Indwelling, the sick will
be restored to health and evil be
expelled from hearts and minds.
Such is the Father's will and loving
purpose: the extension of His Kingdom
in His world.
