Archbishop and Presiding Prelate Hon. Andres B. Quow
Beloved in Christ, devotion is the language of love spoken from earth to heaven. It is how the believer answers the call of God with more than a nod of agreement; it is the offering of the whole life back to the One who gave it. True devotion cannot be confined to a single day of worship or a single role in the sanctuary. It must flow through every thought, every decision, and every relationship. Where devotion is present, there is a quiet stability, a holy resolve that does not crumble under pressure, because it rests in the character of God.
As Presiding Prelate, there is a sacred responsibility to keep pointing the Church toward this deeper life with God. Structures and programs have their place, but they cannot replace a heart that is on fire for the Lord. It is possible to be busy in the house of God and yet distant from the God of the house. Devotion corrects this imbalance. It draws leaders and members alike back to the feet of Jesus, to the simplicity of loving Him, listening to Him, and obeying Him. From that place, every ministry takes on new life and authenticity.
Devotion also strengthens the bonds of spiritual family. When each person seeks God sincerely, there is less room for envy, strife, and suspicion. Instead, there grows a culture of honour, where gifts are celebrated, weaknesses are covered in love, and burdens are carried together. In such an atmosphere, the presence of the Lord is felt strongly, and those who visit can sense that they have entered a holy fellowship. This is the kind of testimony The Mystical Order is called to display—a people marked by devotion, unity, and holiness.
In the days ahead, let your devotion be intentional. Set aside time to be alone with God, even amid a busy schedule. Approach each service, each meeting, and each act of service as an offering laid upon the altar. May your devotion rise before God as a sweet savour, and may His wisdom, protection, and blessing rest upon you, your household, and this entire spiritual family, now and forevermore.
