In Union with God

John 17:13,20-24.

I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my Joy within them.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the Glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my Glory, the Glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

The first chapter of the Gospel accorded by John.

Jesus, Our life and Light. We are created through him who is the word and God through the blessed Trinity so with God.

The virtue is to make straight his way for he is being revealed. He is here to baptise with the Holy Spirit. This baptism is an offer of a lifestyle. A lifestyle guided by Love which seeks the highest good of others, Joy not based on circumstances, Peace, Patience, Kindness that is Merciful sweet and tender, Goodness, Faithfulness that is dependable, loyal, and full of trust in God, Gentleness and Self control.

He is saying come, through discernment to this call. We are blessed with a gift to add meaning to life, giving taste to a life that seems tasteless, and light in the dark. Through the fear of God, Piety, Knowledge, Fortitude, Counsel, Understanding, and Wisdom. In the end of the day, I feel there is a satisfaction of a life well spent.

Despite the fact that, physically, he comes from a place were no good can be expected. His gift to as is of a well heeled essence. We await to see heaven open and his Angels ascend and descend on the Son of Man.
