1 Sam. 3:1-10, 19-20. Mark 1:29-39

The Father is in and around His world, continually present in every circumstance. The sin and failure of the one and many need not separate His beloved sons and daughters from His love and care - rather they can be the means of bringing all who seek forgiveness and His will and purpose into closer union with Him as both are sought in penitence and self-giving.

And where no fault or failure is identified, in sickness or in adverse circumstance, Our healing and enwholing love enfolds each sufferer, calling mind and heart to trust and quietly and confidently to welcome and accommodate Our loving Presence in the soul.

Love creates and recreates the Father's world and seeks co-operation of the created.
