This is the Father’s Will
To repair and recreate all that was lost
To unbind us and overcome the deceiver and oppressor!
To be healed and strengthened by the savior and redeemer!
To unite fully in the sacramental gifts of the Church,
and the gifts of the passion of Christ and his Cross!
To complete the hypostatic union of divinity and humanity,
our identity as children of God,
and fulfill our destiny to be one with him forever,
on earth as it is in heaven!
John 14:23-29 (RSV)
“Jesus answered him,
“If a man loves me, he will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our home with him.
He who does not love me does not keep my words;
and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
“These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you.
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
You heard me say to you, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’
If you loved me, you would have rejoiced,
because I go to the Father;
for the Father is greater than I.
And now I have told you before it takes place,
so that when it does take place, you may believe.”
