Sisterhood of Mary

The door to the heavenly Father’s house has been opened through Jesus Christ. Yet so often we live outside. Sadly, we have discovered so little about what it means to live in the Father’s house. There a child is at home. Surrounded by joy and security, he knows he is loved and can come to the Father with all that is on his heart. He receives more advice and help than he could ever ask for or imagine. He is committed to the will of the Father and to all His leadings. In receiving the Father’s forgiveness, he finds that his deepest needs are met. Jesus wants to draw us into the Father’s house when He tells us that we should become like little children – dependent and without influence or prestige. Will you respond to His call?
