St. Thomas a Becket
2 Timothy 2:8-13, 3:10-12. Matthew 16:24-27

Deny the natural self that We may affirm in you the joy and glory of the whole person, redeemed and sanctified in Us. Seek the Father's will and purpose in all things and in every circumstance: so will your orientation be assured as you continue faithful and obedient in love and in self-giving.

Such death to self is life in Us, for I am your joy and power through My risen life: Our Holy Spirit strengthens and inspires the cleansed and dedicated soul and brings it to the fulness of the Father in His Kingdom of Eternal Love.

Pray abba, Father, Maranatha constantly, and ceaselessly rejoice in the power and joy of Our saving, sanctifying love.
