Jeremiah 23:5-8. Matt. 1:18-24

The Father wills and purposes the salvation of all faithful to His Holy Name : this was His will from the beginning . Down countless ages He revealed the truth and conveyed His promise to those He called to lead and shepherd the beloved children of His love and who obeyed in faithfulness and trust . In time the Father's Word Incarnate entered human life through the due operation of Our Holy Spirit . I am the Father's Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word . Through the obedience of My beloved Mother I was delivered at the time appointed. In great humility I came into the world . Joseph comforted and supported My dear Mother in the anguish of deliverance and lovingly tended and protected Me in infancy and childhood.

Take My beloved Mother as your pattern of humility and obedience, and My guardian Joseph as a model of reliability and faithfulness. And realise the Father's overshadowing love, Our Holy Spirit's guiding and inspiring power.

And above all recognise the Father's Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word within your heart and mind through grace unlimited. Listen and be faithfully committed in every thought and word and action.
