Beloved Junior Apprentice,

Greetings. I trust this letter finds you in good stead, and that your life finds favour with the Master. We are not living in easy times, my dear friend. I desire that you keep your eyes wide open to observe that which is happening around you in our world. There is much that will shock you; but still, the future hope assured to us is one that keeps us walking in the light of hope... it is a hope of a full restoration of the Master's reign in time to come.

It is for us - you and me - to be alert at all times. The Master is busy crafting a beautiful story of his Kingdom. Subtly and subversively, his Kingdom is being established whilst the world persists in its momentum. The mandate for us, my young apprentice, is that of seeking to increasingly understand the development of this story as it unfolds. And as we do so, the onus falls upon us to also live the future in the present, for the culmination of this story has already been revealed to us.

Be watchful, for the unfolding of this story passes by those who have not sought to understand and those who have been undiscerningly caught up in the common state of affairs. Not too long ago, you voluntarily gave yourself to a cause and embraced the vows necessary for the fulfillment of this mission. But it is easy for us to grow weary and lose sight of that to which we have devoted ourselves, especially during dark moments.

Remember that the presence of the Master remains with us who have embraced his purpose and will. At times when other "voices" seem to instruct you in ways that contradict that which you know to be the way of the Master, find the strength from within you to resist those voices. Know that he is with you. And in all that you do, remember to love him.

Yours most affectionately,
Senior Apprentice
