BERTRAM and MURIEL: Greetings little one. It is such a pleasure to be with you again on this new beginning. May this coming year be a period of growth in the spirit for all of God’s children all around this beautiful globe we call, Urantia. Great is the need for peace, for harmony, for love, for co-operation, international trust and a true spirit of good will among men.

BERTRAM and MURIEL: Greetings little one. It is such a [[pleasure]] to be with you again on this new beginning. May this coming year be a period of [[growth]] in the [[spirit]] for all of [[God’s children]] all around this [[beautiful]] globe we call, [[Urantia]]. Great is the need for [[peace]], for [[harmony]], for [[love]], for [[co-operation]], international [[trust]] and a true spirit of good will among men.

Pray daily for the Kingdom of Heaven to come on earth. Prepare yourselves now to be the loving examples of His peace on earth; for only the peace offered by Christ Michael can truly bring this world to the brink of Light and Life, for which we all pray.

You are truly His vessels of light to the world. Do not underestimate the part you are all called to play and will partake in.

You are truly His vessels of [[light]] to [[the world]]. Do not underestimate the part you are all called to [[play]] and will partake in.

As we have said to you so many times, we have come to prepare you, to guide you into the paths of truth and righteousness. To expand your understanding so that those you meet every day in your daily walk in life will see the better way of living, and serving and loving one another.

As we have said to you so many times, we have come to [[prepare]] you, to [[guide]] you into the [[paths]] of [[truth]] and [[righteousness]]. To expand your [[understanding]] so that those you meet every day in your daily walk in life will see the better way of living, and serving and loving one another.

As you demonstrate Michael’s way, then will peace and love spread abroad throughout your world Then will corrections be made for the betterment of all who share Urantia. When you truly become your brothers keeper in your hearts and their needs are fully recognized and supplied by the works of your own hands, working together in unity and harmony no matter what the task at hand, then will prosperity and abundance come to all.

Do not fret and despair at the magnitude of the work at hand. How shall we feed the poor. How shall we clothe them, nurture them, educate them? How can we lift them up to where even their basic needs are supplied? By working together as brothers, caring for the whole family. When one suffers, all suffer. Through united worldwide effort much can be done to feed the hungry, the starving, heal the sick and clothe the naked on your world.

Through united worldwide [[effort]] much can be done to feed the [[hungry]], the [[starving]], heal the sick and clothe the [[naked]] on [[your world]].

You can start right where you are. Be mindful of the very poor even on your own doorstep. Listen and be aware of the pleas you hear. They are your brothers no matter what their circumstance. How many will die in the bitter cold on the very streets of your city? How many homeless are there in your cities? How many children go to school hungry each day ? How can you help? Seek where you can offer your loving service. Ask the Father within to guide you in your service.

Only by changing your own attitudes towards the poor can you hope to be of loving service, unconditional loving service not seeking reward or praise or recognition. But realizing that they, your brothers, your unfortunate brothers, are also children of the living God, children of the family of God. When you serve those less fortunate in any manner you can, you are surely serving the Father and acting according to His will.

There is much unity in diversity. Many loving people, who aren’t aware of our mission are also doing their part to bring this world peace and prosperity. Always honour these efforts of bringing brotherhood on earth. Work together in unity and give support when and in whatever way you are able.

We leave you now in the peace of the Father that you have come to know. Pray that all His children will someday live in this wondrous new way of light and life and love, that is daily becoming apart of your new life in Christ Michael as He intended it to be, lives shared in the acknowledgment of the Fatherhood of God and the true worldwide brotherhood of mankind.
