2 Corinthians
11:18, 21-30. June 12:24-26
All born into the Father’s
world are children of His love,
given the means to grow and to mature
except where the corruption and
neglect of man has deprived them
of it. We grieve and ceaselessly
work within the hearts and minds
of the one and many to remedy the
scandal of hunger and deprivation
in a world of plenty.
All are given life by the Father;
so are they called to offer it to
Him in thankfulness and self-giving.
Even so did I, the Father’s
beloved and loving Son, give Myself
in love to His whole creation. In
time I lived and died and offered
– through My death –
the re-creation of the one and of
the whole in love according to the
Father’s will and loving purpose.
So all born into the Father’s
world are called to death to self
that life – which is Our Presence
– may grow in them and bring
them to the joy and glory of eternal
life in the fulness of Eternal Love,
in fellowship with all made perfect
in Our love.
