Genesis 17:3-4, 12-13, 17-28. Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46

The Kingdom of the living, loving God is established in His created world and countless numbers enjoy the security and well-being of becoming a part of it through their heavenly Father’s love and their commitment and faithfulness to His will and loving purpose. There is no place in His Kingdom for those who seek to destroy His life in others or culpably harm their brothers and their sisters near and far, nor for those who neglect the welfare of those whom they could help through their self-giving.

The Father’s Kingdom grows and prospers as the one and many commit themselves to Love’s indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit. As individual sons and daughters of the Father they prosper in the life and light and truth He gives them and in the fellowship of community in service in His world.

The Father calls each one of His beloved sons and daughters to follow The Son of Man, the Father’s Word and Love Incarnate and to accompany Him to The Cross, identifying with His self-giving in all they may encounter in the chances and the chances of this fleeting world. I, The Way, The Truth, The Life, make all things well for the faithful and the true of heart in and through the Father’s will and loving purpose.
