St. Athanasius, Bishop and Doctor
1 John 5:1-5, Matt. 10:22-25

I have accomplished man's salvation through My death upon the Cross. My life laid down in love and in self-giving is both challenge and enabling to each child of man who seeks to know and serve the Father according to the Father's will and loving purpose.

And I invite all faithfully committed in Our love to share the opposition and the pain which faithfulness in love will bring. Commit your total self to the grace and power of My Indwelling. Love is invincible and is achieving in the Father's world the establishment of His Kingdom of eternal life and joy in all committed to the truth which We impart in individual and community. Let the pattern of Our saving, sanctifying love be seen and felt in all you are and do and hope for.
