Jesus founded the Church. The Church in this world has priests and Bishops who can trace their ordinations back to the hands of the Apostles who had received the same gift from Jesus. At that time, Jesus was present in the world,  the majority of the Jews in Judah and the Jews and Gentiles of Galilee did not accept his teaching nor the priestly authority of the Apostles.

Lord give us holy priests and let their lives truly be devoted to you our Saviour. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The continuing presence of "Jews and Gentiles" in our Global Judah and Galilee bears witness to the ever lasting presence of Jesus in our Church. We all have the freedom to choose the path we follow through life and God has not straitjacketed us into a printed circuit of being. The humanity of the institutional aspect of the Church blinds us to the reality of "wrong choices"/ sinfulness. Bishops strive to serve the " Institution"; in so doing they loose sight of the heart. "Listen to their words but do not follow their deeds" said Jesus of the Scribes and Pharisees.

 Let the wrong doing of others not excuse my own. Lord have mercy on us all.
