Ecclesiasticus 3:19-21,30-31. Hebrews 12:18-19,22-24

You are continually and constantly in the Presence of the Most High, father of all born into His world: I speak to one I speak to every one. Respond to His love in humility with praise and thanksgiving and listen to the word He speaks to you in the centre of your being. So will you learn His will and receive power to do it as you continue faithful in His love. The Kingdom of the living God is present now in His created world and all are invited to enter and make progress in it through Love’s indwelling ad the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

Take heart all who are cast down by the changes and the chances of this fleeting world. Be strengthened and empowered you who seek the Father’s will and give yourself to it in faith and trust and absolute self-giving. ‘You have come to God Himself , the Supreme Judge and been placed with spirits of the saints who have been made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator who brings a new covenant’ (Hebrews 12:24). ‘Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and lowly of heart and you will find rest for your souls’ (Matthew 11:29).
