“To the other towns also I must proclaim 
the good news of the Kingdom of God, 
because for this purpose I have been sent.” 
LUKE 4 : 43


The whole world is bearing fruit and growing from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth (Col 1:6). 

God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory (Col 1:27). It is Him whom you proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that you may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this you labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of His power working within you. (Col 1:28-29) This is the glory of all His faithful (Ps 149:9). 

You are a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to you to bring to completion the word of God (Col 1:25). Rejoice in your sufferings for their sake, and in your flesh you are filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His Body, which is the Church (Col 1:24). That their hearts may be encouraged as they are brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:2-3)

Love in the Spirit (Col 1:7). Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law Rom 13:18). The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law (Rom 13:9-10).

Trust in the Lord at all times! Pour out your hearts before Him; God is your refuge! (Ps 62:9) Like a green olive tree in the house of God, trust in the mercy of God forever and ever (Ps 52:10). Only in God be at rest, your soul, for from Him comes your hope. He only is your rock and your salvation, your stronghold; you shall not be disturbed. (Ps 62:6-7) 

I give thanks to You O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Col 1:2). I will thank You always for what You have done, and proclaim the goodness of Your name before Your faithful ones. (Ps 52:11) Let the faithful exult in glory. Alleluia! (Ps 149:5)
