Ezekiel 12:1-12. Matthew 18:21-19:1

Through the Father’s love you were and are created, through the Son you are redeemed and through Our Holy Spirit sanctified as you live in and through the grace and power of Our love. And so it is for every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters. And this same all-embracing generosity in love and life and living We look for in all who seek meaning in their life and power to follow as they are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.

Desire to know the needs and hopes of others and, through prayer and self-giving, seek to address yourself to them according to the will and loving purpose of the Lord of All. You are close to the Father’s heart but no closer than your brother and your sister near and far. All are called to be conscious of the needs of others and respond to them as they are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.

Constantly and continually I, the Son of Man, the Father’s word incarnate and His incarnate love, say to one and all ‘……love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should love one another’. (John 13:34, 15:9-13).
