St. Columban
Isaiah 52:7-10. Luke 9:57-62

The Lord your God is king over all the earth and I, His Son beloved and loving, am His messenger and power in all things. He who has created al things in earth and heaven rules in unimaginable power and glory over all He has created and is continually creating.

And He, the Lord of All, has called the sons of men, the sons and daughters of His love, to rejoice together and with Him in His redeemed and sanctified creation which even now is a part of the reality of all that is, straining towards fulfilment according to His will and loving purpose.

For this I, the Father’s Word Incarnate and Incarnate Love, lived on earth and died and bring all faithful in Our redeeming, sanctifying love into the glorious Kingdom of eternal life and light and love. Follow, then, in faith and trust and absolute self-giving.
