Isaiah 33:1-4, 21:78

In the early years the Father speaks through law and through prophetic interpretation of the law, and the sons of men mature as they are faithful to it. But gradually the Father seeks to speak directly to the mind and heart in accordance with the spirit of the law and of prophetic understanding in the heart and mind and in the concourse of the faithful.

Through prayer and sacramental living the faithful and the true of heart identify the Father's will and loving purpose and are empowered to do it in the grace and power of Our saving, sanctifying love. For this I lived on earth and died and was raised up by the Father; and I offer the power and joy of My risen life to bring the one and many to the fulness of eternal life.

Pray 'maranatha'.
