Jeremiah
18:1-2. Matthew 20:17-28
There is no suffering inflicted
on the sons of men which is not
borne by the Son of Man, no contrary
experience of mind or heart not
endured by Incarnate Love. The faithful
and the true of heart know, as long
as they continue obedient in Our
love, that they are caught up in
the Father’s loving purpose,
borne up in Our redeeming, sanctifying
love. For the Father’s Suffering
Servant has walked the way of pain
and sorrow and accompanies them
even to the end.
Accept the challenge of service
and self-giving continually offered:
I speak to one, I speak to all.
Receive the grace and power to respond.
So will the joy of resurrection
be yours and progress in the Father’s
progress both now and through eternity.
