St. John Vianney - 1786-1859

The Lord your God is holy and you are called to enter the gates of His Kingdom that you my praise and glorify Him and seek the perfection and holiness that He offers all who give themselves to Love’s indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit. ‘Enter His gates with thanksgiving and into to His courts with praise’. Give thanks to Him and bless His Name, for Love endures for ever and His faithfulness is to all generations’. (Psalm 100:4)

All are called to be ’their brother’s keeper’ not only in what they do for others but also through what they are called to be in and through the grace an power of Our redeeming, sanctifying Love. Let one and all consider this and pray for the humility and self-giving which the Father seeks to give the pure in heart and all continuing faithful in the Way. And let one and all pray to the Father to send labourers into the harvest already present into His world and bring the harassed and dejected and all seeking truth and fulfilment into His Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love.
