1 John 5:1-8. Matt. 10:22-25

All are called to be the beloved sons and daughters of the loving Heavenly Father and to grow into the fullness of eternal life. But response is necessary to the law of love which increasingly they will find within their hearts and minds as they continue faithful: love for the Father, the Creator and provider of all things necessary, love for the Son who has redeemed and who sustains and nourishes the faithful soul, and love for Our vibrant, loving Holy Spirit who cleanses and inspires for life in the context of eternity.

But all the faithfully committed in Our love will be opposed and not infrequently persecuted for faithfulness to that which is perceived within the heart and mind. I am at hand at all times to illumine in the way, to strengthen and to bring all things to their fulfilment. The Father's will and loving purpose will be done in all its fullness through My Indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.
