St. Teresa
of Avila (15th )
Romans
8:22-27. John 15:1-8
Let the Father's will direct
you ceaselessly in the way,
His love cleanse and inspire
your being and your doing.
His purpose is to bring
all in Him and He in them
to the joy and fulness of
His Presence with the whole
redeemed and sanctified
creation. For this I lived,
for this I died, for this
He raised Me up again. I,
the Firstborn of the Father's
love, am one with Him in
all things and with Our
loving Holy Spirit bring
all things to perfection
in the grace and power of
Our love.
Open mind and heart to
Our indwelling, beloved
of the Father: I speak to
one, I speak to all. I heal
and train and tend and feed
the soul of every child
of man who seeks truth in
love and in self-giving
and I lead the faithful
and the true of heart into
the way the Father wills
and purposes and bring them
to the joy and fulness of
His Presence.
