Sunday August 26th
Isaiah 66:18-22. Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-17. Luke 13:22-30

He who has created all that is in Heaven and Earth and is constantly creating, who brought the worlds and universes into being, calls one and all to identify and to become an active part in His creation. As a potter moulds the vessel he creates, continuing until the vessel is perfected, so does the Father seek to perfect you and all committed to His will and loving purpose. And he calls all families, communities and nations into the fulness of His love, seeking to lead and guide them in the ways of loving-kindness, righteousness and peace.

And if the way is sometimes difficult and challenging, with sadness and suffering in the way, the faithful in Our love recall that the Son of Man has travelled in the way before them, is constantly with them in the way, and will present them in the glorious Presence of the Father in the fulness of eternity.
