The closed mind, the hard heart and the corrupt will combine to threaten and – where possible – destroy the holy ones in the Father’s world. But the faithful and the true of heart shine brightly, even to the end in every generation, and are received into the Father’s Presence in time and through eternity. Their death opens up the fulness of eternal life for them and witnesses to the faithfulness and love of the Most High: their faithfulness is the seed of the Church and their place in the Father’s Kingdom of eternal life and light and love is assured.

Then ‘be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life’. This is the promise of Him who lived and died for all and pleads for the sons and daughters of the Father’s love in His glorious Presence.

Pray ‘Maranatha ‘ constantly.
