Sunday December 31st
Holy Family
Ecclesiasticus 3:2-6. 12-14. Colossians 4:4-7. Luke 2:41-52

Listen to the Father’s Word and respond to it as you are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit: you are a child of the Father’s love, and the Father’s will and loving purpose is to enfold you, enable and empower you to remain in His Presence at all times, ready to do His will – not for your sake only, but that your brothers and your sisters near and far may know and love and serve Him too according to His will and loving purpose.

Love is the means and Love the End, and perfection and fulfilment in the fulness of eternity. As you are faithful in the Way in which We lead and guide so are you enfolded in Our redeeming, sanctifying love, a loved member of the Father’s vast family and a valued member of His Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love.

Each and every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters is a child of His love, called to love and serve Him and to seek His will and loving purpose for them and for the well-being and progress of one and all. Love and be loved, receive and give, give and receive, that the Father’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven, uniting one and all responding in faith and trust and self-giving in and through the love of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
