St. Damasus
Acts 20:17-18,28-32, 36. John 15:9-17

This only do I require of all who seek the light and power to walk in it; this is the only law I give to all who claim Me as their Lord and Saviour : Love one another. Love is the dynamic of all truth and right action: where love is not there is no true progress. To progress in love and self-giving is the point and purpose of all life, the means of progress in the Father's Kingdom of eternal love. Love is the substance and the essence of reality and Reality Itself. All those who are not ‘in’ love are in delusion and frustration.

As you desire the Father's will and loving purpose so will love grow and develop in your heart and mind. Pray for obedience to the Father's will as you identify it, and love will come increasingly into your soul to enable you to become and do all that the Father requires.

Love, then, with every fibre of your being , and you will grow into the fullness of eternal life.
