Maccabees 7:1,2,9-14. (Job19:23-27a)
2 Thess. 2:1-5,13-17
Luke 20:27-38
Be strong in faith and
trust in Our sustaining
your commitment. Take courage
and let your weakness and
your failure give you both
faith and trust in the power
of Our delivering you through
service and self-giving
to the fullness of eternity.
Believe with your whole
heart what your mind reveals
and pray for constancy and
obedience in all the Father
asks of you. Down countless
generations the faithful
have unveiled the truth
in faithfulness and self-giving
in life and death. Follow
their example in singleness
of mind and purity in all
things. Have I not shown
that love is shown in all
its fullness by generous
giving of the total self
even to the sacrifice of
life itself?
The challenge of eternal
love is to live in constant
offering of each minute
of each day to service of
the Father and His world
according to His will and
loving purpose in the grace
and power of Our saving,
sanctifying love. So live
and love and prosper.
