                                            1 Corinthians 
                                            2:1-10. Luke 14:25-35  
                                            Love was the First Cause – 
                                              love of the Father and through Him 
                                              of the Son in and through Our Holy 
                                              Spirit. Through Love the whole creation 
                                              came into being and by Love redeemed 
                                              and sanctified that the sons and 
                                              daughters of the Father might come 
                                              to know and share the power and 
                                              glory offered by the Father and 
                                              fulfil His loving purpose through 
                                              those responding in the grace and 
                                              power of Our redeeming, sanctifying 
                                              love. And the cost to the faithful 
                                              and the true of heart is not less 
                                              than everything.
                                            Be with Me in Gethsemane, beloved 
                                              sons and daughters of the Father, 
                                              and follow me to Golgotha. Love 
                                              endures all things even to the end 
                                              of time when He who loved you into 
                                              being receives the faithful in His 
                                              love into the joy and glory of the 
                                              fulness of His Presence with all 
                                              made perfect in and through His 
                                              love.
