Timothy 4:1-8. Mark 12:8-44
In word and sacrament,
in opportunity for service
and relationship the word
of the living God is offered
you, I speak to every one
of the Father’s beloved
sons and daughters: be alert
to receive it, constant
and obedient in response
and faithful in love and
in self-giving. All obedient
to the Father’s word
and faithful in the way
are brought to perfection
and fulfilment in the fulness
of eternity through the
grace and power of Our indwelling
and the light and guiding
of Our Holy Spirit.
Pray that the good purpose
of the Father’s perfect
will be fulfilled in you
and increasingly in His
world. In humility and love
and self-giving embrace
the Father’s will
for you as it is offered,
with all whom He gives you
to befriend, identify and
serve.
Nothing less than absolute
self-giving in the grace
and power of Our love is
adequate in your response
to the love of Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, offering
Him who created, sustains
and calls you all you have
and are and are becoming.
