Genesis
1:26-2:3. Matthew 13:54-58
Born into the Father’s world
in family, community and people
you are called to love and serve
Him and all whom you are given to
love and serve according to His
will and loving purpose.
The life and power of the living,
loving, God is given to all that
lives and moves and has its being,
and the imprint of His likeness
is offered to each and every one
of His beloved sons and daughters
through Love’s indwelling
and the light and power of Our Holy
Spirit, with power to love and serve
their loving heavenly Father and
their brothers and their sisters
near and far according to His will
and loving purpose.
In humility and self-giving offer
all you have and all you are to
Him who loved you into being and
you will receive the grace and power
to do all the Father purposes for
and, in and through you, in those
whom you encounter day by day.
‘Father, may the love with
which you have loved Me be in them,
and I in them’. (John 17:26.)
