Maccabees
4:36-37,52-59. Luke 19:45-48
Let purity of heart and mind be
sought by each and every one who
seeks truth with commitment and
self-giving. As they seek Our loving
Holy Spirit joins them together
and leads them to the action the
Father wishes them to take - alone
and in the fellowship of meeting.
The Father’s will and loving
purpose is the foundation and the
power of all right action in community
and peoples, given as it is sought
to all continuing faithful in the
way Our Holy Spirit leads and guides,
and it is both life and power -
and challenge - to all responding
who are brought to their great reward
in time and eternity, though many
may experience suffering and even
death from those who close their
mind to light and truth and the
Father’s will and loving purpose
for them and for those they seek
to harm and to destroy.
Through Love’s indwelling
and the light and leading of Our
Holy Spirit the Father’s will
is done in individual, community
and peoples. Then commit your self
– one and all – that
the Father’s will be done,
His Kingdom strengthened and extended
in His world, and all continuing
faithful brought to Him in time
and to the fulness of Hs glorious
Presence in eternity.
