St. John the Evangelist
1 John 3:1-4. John 20:2-8

The wonder of Eternal Love is manifest to all who trust in obedience and in self-giving .

Before time was the Life which is the light which lighted all that is entered the human world and manifested Love Eternal . He was and is the Father's Word Incarnate and Incarnate Love, reflecting the power and glory of the Father, offering union with Us through Our Indwelling.

I am that Word Incarnate and Incarnate Love - the power and glory of the Father in His most glorious world . To all who are in Me and I in them I reveal that love and in the course of time and positive response enable them to share that power and glory in the service of the Father and their fellowmen .

Self-giving love is the dynamic of true power and glory, the open secret of true progress and fulfilment . All faithfully committed in love and in self-giving know and grow in Our redeeming , sanctifying love as they continue faithful. Even so I charge and lovingly challenge you to be lovingly obedient and trusting in The Way.
