Ss. Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen
Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-17. Matthew 21:8-12

The Lord of all, creator of all in Heaven and earth has body, form and substance; His essence is in all that is or was or ever shall be.

The glorious mystery is that the Lord Creator entered in the nature of His creation through His almighty, loving power and the consent and faithful love of one, and so infused divine life into His whole creation.

And through the consent and co-operation of each one born into the world the cosmic purpose and all-embracing work continues, requiring only the consent of the one and many for progress into life eternal in the glorious Presence of the Lord of All.

I, the Beginning and the Fulfilment, give life and growth and renewal. Unite your whole self with this great cosmic, loving purpose and offer all you have and all you are to its fulfilment.
