Ss.John de Brebeuf & Isaac Joques and 8 compatriots
St. Paul of the Cross
1 Cor. 1:18-25 . Matt. 16:24-27. 2 Cor. 4:7-15 Matt. 28:16-20.

In humility I took on human flesh and lived a life of offering to the Father. That was My glory and My triumph, and salvation for the sons of men who seek to serve the Father and their fellowmen. So is each beloved child of the loving Heavenly Father called to serve, yes, and suffer too, as he encounters life and living.I came into the Father's world to show the way to becoming and to doing all the Father willed and purposed from before time was in His most glorious world. Through pain and anguish I secured the means of man's wholeness and perfection as he progresses in his earthly pilgrimage. So I obtained for all the faithfully committed in Our saving, sanctifying love their place within the Father's Kingdom of the blessed.

All life on earth is challenging and demanding but I have shown the way; and all who follow are hollowed, filled , enabled , illumined and progressed according to the measure of their faithfulness. Known or unrecognised I am their light and power, their way and their fulfilment. Let all reflect on this. The Cross is self crossed out. This is the open secret of the means to life eternal.
