 | REACHING OUT IN LOVE It’s as if the Father in Heaven screens His face on considering the torments which His Son will undergo on earth. He reaches out in love to His Son. And that reaching-out-in-love is the Holy Spirit: the Third Divine Person. “The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh has been given to me, for Yahweh has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken.” Is 61:1. OIL-S:3889 |
 | ETERNALLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER The Son Who has been born of Mary is eternally begotten of the Father. He springs forth eternally from the white-hot love of the Father’s heart, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the oneness of love of the Godhead. “The Word was made flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jn 1:14. OIL-S:3198 |
 | A WORTHY MOTHER OF A DIVINE SON In her holiness and purity the Blessed Virgin Mary was a worthy mother of her Divine son, Jesus. At her consent, she was made fruitful for the sake of the whole world. “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Lk 1:42. OIL-M:1349A |
 | A TORRENTIAL FLOOD, FOR ALL AGES Christ’s Precious Blood poured out from His body on the Cross, in a torrential flood, for all ages, so that we can bathe therein. “He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a line of kings, priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever.” Rev 1:5. OIL-M:832A |
 | A CORNER OF THE KINGDOM The Church which Christ has founded is like a Kingdom of light, of which a little corner can be seen on earth. The rest of the Kingdom stretches up beyond earthly life to where it is populated by the Saints and the Holy Angels, and the Holy Souls of Purgatory. “I tell you most solemnly, unless a man is born through water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” Jn 3:5. OIL-M:1332 |
 | OUT FROM THE FATHER’S HEART Christ came out from the Father’s heart, to search us out, and to draw back into the Father’s embrace all who are willing to follow in His Way. “He has let us know the mystery of his purpose … that he would bring everything together under Christ, as head, everything in the heavens and everything on earth.” Ep 1:9-10. OIL-S:1197 |
