Reflection on Father Parent's thoughts:

This message from Father Parent is an invitation to experience spiritual and personal renewal on a daily basis. It is a message of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.

Hope that gives us unshakeable confidence in God's benevolence and faithfulness. Hope that encourages us to look beyond the obstacles that sometimes arise.

Peace that encourages us to become peacemakers in the world. Peace built through caring actions that ease conflict by building relationships based on understanding and acceptance of others as they are.

The joy that flows from this certainty of divine love prepares us to welcome Jesus in others, to discover beauty in little things and to welcome them with gratitude.

God's unconditional love in us invites us to show a similar love, through our daily actions, by simple gestures of kindness, listening, patience and forgiveness.
