Tobit 6:11, 7:9-14. Mark 12:28-34

You, a beloved child of the loving heavenly Father, are a gift of the Father to His beloved sons and daughters in His world. And all born into His world are gifts offered to His world and all born into it to glorify Him, serve Him and love Him with all their strength, their mind and heart, and their brothers and their sisters near and far, through Hs love and leading.

The Father’s Word is The Way, The Truth, The Life spoken from the beginning in the mind and heart of one and all and in the fellowship of meeting of family, community and peoples. But the Word freely offered to the sons and daughters of the Father’s Love must be freely accepted and embraced in mind and heart and responded to in faith and trust and self-giving - in the grace and power of Our love - if it is to be effective in the life and living of the one and many.

Listen, beloved of the Father and of me, His Word and Love Incarnate, ‘The Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength……….and you shall love your neighbour as yourself ‘.
