A JOURNEY OF FAITH
ANOTHER JOURNEY IS ALMOST COMPLETE
AS YOU TRAVEL THESE MILES WITH JESUS TO MEET.
ALTHOUGH HE IS AT YOUR SIDE THROUGH OUT EVERY DAY,
HE HAS GATHERED HIS CHOSEN TO COME HERE TO PRAY.
HE TOOK YOU AWAY FROM YOUR DAILY DISTRACTION
SO THAT HE WOULD BECOME YOUR ONLY ATTRACTION.
THE GRACES RECEIVED DURING THIS ADORATION
WILL BE SHARED BY MANY DURING YOUR ISOLATION.
HE HAS CALLED YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, EACH ONE BY YOUR NAME
AND THANKS ALL HIS FAITHFUL WHO ON THIS PILGRIMAGE CAME.
THE SPIRIT, DEAR CHILDREN, AMONGST YOU WILL DWELL
BECAUSE YOU’RE REBUKING THE POWERS OF HELL.
BECAUSE YOU CHOSE FREELY TO RESPOND TO GOD’S WILL,
THE SPIRIT WITHIN YOU HIS GIFTS WILL INFILL.
YOU WILL RETURN STRONGER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE
BECAUSE YOU CAME ON THIS JOURNEY MY SON TO ADORE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
