St.
Alphonsus Liguori
Romans
8:1-4. Matthew 5:13-19
All followers in the way
the Father offers them are
liberated by the grace and
power of My death and risen
life as they continue faithful
and committed in Our love.
So are they given their
unique place in the Kingdom
and offered their contribution
through their life and work
and witness in the power
of Our light and leading.
Our saints reveal this
truth, but all are so called
and challenged to do the
Father’s will and
let His loving purpose be
fulfilled in them. When
pain and suffering come
Our saints identify with
the Suffering Son of Man
who suffered, died and rose
again that all might have
life and have it in abundance.
And all are so called: all
responding receive the peace
and joy of My Presence as
I bring them to the fulness
and perfection of their
faithfulness.
