St. Athanasius
1 John 5:1-5. Matt.10:22-26

Hold fast to that which you identify at your soul's centre. The Father ceaselessly speaks His word within the heart and mind of every one of His beloved sons and daughters. All who listen and respond are brought into a deeper understanding of the truth. Those who constantly turn away bring deafness in themselves and confusion in their inner being. I am constantly at hand to save and, through Our Holy Spirit, sanctify all who turn and listen and respond in love and in self-giving.

Love is its own reward but costs not less than everything. All who are in Me and I in them will know the pains and sorrows of the world and identify in intercession with the sufferers. And as they offer all to Us in love so do We use their offering in Our redeeming, sanctifying work within the Father's world as We bring all things to fulfilment in the Father's Kingdom of eternal life and light and love.
