The Apocalypse 21:5-7. John 3:31-36

I, the Alpha and the Omega of the Father’s glorious creation, give cleansing and refreshment to all who seek, eternal life to all who give themselves to Love’s indwelling.

I am the Father’s Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word. Issuing from the Father before time was I was with Him in creation. In time I entered His created world and through My life and death and risen life I offer full and radiant life in time and through eternity. Such was the Father’s will and loving purpose from the beginning, My glorious, suffering, triumphant task to redeem and – with and through Our Holy Spirit – sanctify the Father’s whole creation.

The Father’s whole creation is called to conjoin in this great cosmic and dynamic operation. Such is the purpose of all life and living. Come to Me, beloved of the Father and of Me, that you may have life and have it in abundance.
