Colossians 3:14-15, 17,23-24.  Matthew 13:54-58

The peace of Him who loved all things into being is offered to the sons and daughters of His love.  Love is the Word spoken and the re-creating, sanctifying Power in and through Our Holy Spirit.  And I am The Way, The Truth, The Life. Only--begotten of the Father, Lord Most High: I became the Son of Man to fulfil the Father’s will and loving purpose for the sons and daughters of His love.  Enfleshed through Mary, My beloved Mother, I was loved and tended, trained and guided into human life by the one who, with my beloved Mother, was  called to train and teach Me, protecting and guiding Me in My maturing years.  Let them be loved and honoured as they loved and honoured Me.

And let all who are given responsibility for others realise their need of the help and guiding of their heavenly Father and pray for faithfulness and power to lead and protect them through His Word and in His Love.
