St. Alphonsus Liguori
Romans 8:1-4. Matthew 5:13-18

Each beloved child of the loving heavenly Father is special in His heart and mind and for his loving purpose. Each one who grows into the pattern offered is progressed and strengthened in the Way and brought to perfection and fulfilment in the glorious Presence of the Lord of all. Those unwilling to respond to the Father’s Word in the grace and power of His Love are unfulfilled and, wandering from the Way, get lost in the byways and unrewarding places of this mortal life. And that unwillingness to give themselves to Love’s indwelling prevents their spiritual growth and progress in the Way.

But the faithful and the true of heart are given power to become Our love to others and to witness to the Father’s dynamic Word and all-embracing Love.
