St. Paul of the Cross
1 Corinthians 1:18-25. Matthew 16:24-27

The reality of being, of knowing and of understanding is latent in the Father’s world, available to all who seek it with the mind and commitment necessary. The Father offers intellectual, interpreting and practical gifts of heart and mind to the one and many that each and all may come to know and share the reality of His Kingdom of eternal life and love.

But there is knowledge and a wisdom of a deeper kind available to each child of man whoever lived. It is the understanding of the cost of love and of the imperative of a willingness to give priority to service of the Father and His world. For Me that cost was suffering and death, for through My offering the beloved sons ands daughters of the Father have eternal life. Each one is called to receive My saving gift to bring him to the fulness of eternity, each lovingly called and challenged in the power of My saving love to identify his total self in My redeeming work as he is led and guided by Our Holy Spirit. This is the Father’s will and loving purpose for each and every one, the challenge and the promise.
