Ss. Joachim
and Ann:
Ecclesiasticus
44:1,10-15. Matthew 13:16-17
It is written ’ the faithful
shall abide with Him in love’
: love will make His home in all
continuing faithful in the grace
and power of Our indwelling.
And in and through their faithfulness
the Most High will reveal and present
the nature of His Being and offer
them a part in the fulfilment of
His loving purpose in His world,
for His word and love will make
their home in them and they will
bring forth all that He wills and
purposes as they continue faithful
in the Way.
Rejoice, then, alone and in the
company of all whose spiritual eyes
and ears receive and respond to
and in the mystery, joy and glory
of Love’s indwelling. In humility,
love and absolute self-giving offer
all you have and all you are to
Him who calls you to His constant
and eternal Presence and brings
you to perfection and fulfilment
as you remain in Us and We in you.
Rejoice and press on to the hope
and joy of your high calling (Ephesians
1:15)
