Redeemed and called to sanctity you – with all who seek to follow in the Way according to the Father’s will and loving purpose - have received Our Holy Spirit ‘to bring good news to the poor and bind up hearts that are broken and to proclaim liberty to captives’. (Isaiah 6:1-3.)

In faith and trust and absolute self-giving follow in the steps of the Son of Man as you are led and guided by Our Hoy Spirit. It is given you and all continuing faithful. In the Way to extend and consolidate the Kingdom of the Most High through Love’s indwelling according to the Father’s will and loving purpose.

‘The saints are like the stars,……………… always ready to exchange the quiet of contemplation for the works of mercy as soon as they perceive in their heart the invitation of Christ’. (From one of St. Anthony’s sermons).
