Ecclesiasticus 48:1-4, 9-11. Matthew 17:10-12

Wake up, each one and every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters in every place and race and faith and peoples. Let the torch of truth be kindled in every heart and mind, the fire kindled burn up and destroy all that obscures the light in individual, community and nations. The light and fire illumine and destroy but also enlighten and empower all using them as power for progress in eternal life.

The sun of righteousness and light and life shines already in the Father’s world but it is seen only by those responding to it. The Son of the Most High comes to heart and mind and community and people who give themselves through cleansing, dedication and self-giving to the Lord of All and service to the one and many.

All who seek the Father’s will and loving purpose are brought, through and in their faithfulness to the Son of Man, to the fulness of eternal life into the glorious Presence of Eternal Love.
