"For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Alleluia . . . Alleluia . . . Alleluia:
Eden Restored
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the
middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood
the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit
every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of
the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They
will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will
be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light
of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign
for ever and ever.
John and the Angel
6 The angel said to me,
“These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires
the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must
soon take place.”
7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”
8
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had
heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who
had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a
fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who
keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”
10 Then he told me,
“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the
time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let
the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue
to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
12
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each
person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to
the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside
are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the
murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the
churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright
Morning Star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let
the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let
the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I
warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If
anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues
described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this
scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the
tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
Prophecy.
Prophet of Lord,
TERESA AQUINO.
