Hosea 14:2-10. Mark 12:28-34

The Father loves the world He has created and continually is creating. And He calls upon the sons of men to unite in this great act of love and self-giving. To love is to accept the power and glory of the Father's Being: true love glorifies the Father and enables all who love to come to their fulfilment in the Father. For the loving soul will praise and thank the Father and also live in peace and fellowship with its friends and neighbours.

Such is the wisdom of the just and wise. But all are free to choose their way: those who prefer to live in selfish disregard of their fellowmen and of the Father inevitably lose the light which they are offered by Our loving Holy Spirit. And as they lose the light so do they lose the way and they stumble in the pitfalls they encounter in the path of life. Our saving, sanctifying love awaits their metanoia.
