Amos 2:6-10, 13-16. Matthew 6:18-20

‘It is not enough to name My Name and unite with others in praise and worship with part of your mind and heart and without self-giving to My word. I speak to one, I speak to every one. In prayer and sacrament, in meditation and quiet contemplation be still and listen, wait and open mind and heart to My word, ready to respond as you are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit’. So speaks the Father to each and every one of His beloved sons and daughters, calling them to faithfulness in the way in and through the grace and power of Our indwelling and the light which lightens every one born into the world.’

As for those who reject the light offered and turn from the word continually given , they become lost in the darkness of their own choosing . They are accountable for their rejection and for their failure to respond to the Father’s will and loving purpose for them . To all willfully and culpably harming others the word has been spoken, ‘ it would be better (for them) if a great millstone were fastened round their neck and they were drowned in the depth if the sea’. (Matthew 18:6)
