Jeremiah 18:1-6. Matthew 13:44-52

He who has created and is constantly creating seeks to mould each of His beloved sons and daughters into an image of His love and His perfection. And so it is with groups, communities and nations: the faithful and obedient perceive these things and pray and work to become and do according to His will and loving purpose.

All is in a process of becoming. He who made all things in the beginning and ceaselessly calls each child of man into the joy and glory of Being constantly draws each one and all communities and nations in the power of Our saving, sanctifying love. For this I lived a human life: for this I died. And for this the Father raised Me from the dead that through My death and risen life and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit the faithfully committed in Our love might have eternal life.

Let us fulfil in you the good purpose of the Father's perfect will through your faithfulness and self-giving.
