Let your faith and hope in the Most High God, father of every child of man born into the world, grow and prosper through your complete self-giving and the Eternal Sacrifice offered and given to all responsive to the Incarnate Word.

‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’. The Father, Lord Most High has gloriously fulfilled Hs promise made in ages past for His Word spoken in the fulness of time has redeemed and, through Our Holy Spirit sanctified the whole creation. It is only the response of the one and many which is required to bring perfection and fulfilment in the Father’s glorious Presence and make them channels of Our redeeming, sanctifying love in time and through eternity.

Identify with the Son of Man in His suffering and self-giving that you may join with all the faithful to the Father’s Word in the grace and power of His Love that his will may be fulfilled in you and in His world according to His loving purpose.
