St. Clare
Philippians
3:8-14. Matthew 19:27-29
All obedient to the law
of right thinking and right
action - as they are able
to identify it - are offered
greater good as they keep
mind and heart open and
active in the way. I come
that all may have life and
have it in abundance - such
is the Father's will and
loving purpose - and I bring
a far greater good than
obedience to a given law
can ever give, with power
and joy in progressing in
it. Such is the Father's
gift through My offering
of Myself in life and death
and through My risen life
offered to all faithfully
committed in Our redeeming,
sanctifying love.
But all receiving My redemptive
love and risen life know
that they needs must strive
to follow in the pattern
of My earthly life and receive
the grace and power of My
death that I may bring them
to the fulness of the Father
in His eternal Kingdom.
And this is painful joy
and joyous pain for all
faithful and obedient in
the way.
Press on, then, beloved
of Me and of the Father:
I speak to all faithful
in the way. So shall We
give you the prize of your
high calling. Remember,
I am with you till the end
of time.
