2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14 Matthew
5:1-12
Truth can never be destroyed
nor those who witness to
it for it issues from Eternal
Truth, the Source of all
that was or is or ever shall
be. Let all pray for knowledge
and for understanding in
truth and faithfulness to
it. I am Truth: receive
me into heart and mind.
I am Life, accept the power
to grow in truth and progress
in the light of it, and
I am the way to life eternal
in the Father and in Our
Holy Spirit.
When suffering comes let
it bind you more closely
to the heart of Suffering
Love in the grace and power
of My sacrificial offering;
and if it comes through
the hate of others pray
for them and offer them
– in love –
to the will and loving purpose
of the Father. Love will
restore all in Truth and
bring all to fulfilment
and perfection in the glorious
Presence of the Creator
and Father of all, in love.
