We must never let go of our Faith which has been given to us as a free gift but a gift that has been won for us by suffering. Not our suffering but that which was freely accepted by God Himself. The man Jesus walked the earth and took on the pains predicted in Isaiah. 

This is the Great Event of which I can but glimpse a passing shadow of its reality for it is God's own choice to complete the task broken by Adam for which the unknowable Love had  created time and  the whole of our Universe. God in his Perfection chose to share the joy of his being with all of creation and especially with the least of us.

The least of us must be the Greatest. We must not seek to bolster our own beings for doing that means trampling on the least. We are not pagans and must be the servants of the least. Our High Priest and God suffered not only the pangs of death but also the dissatisfaction achieved in our souls by the temptations of the devil. Our Church founded by Jesus out of his body and blood given up in sacrifice on the cross has always been beset by the weaknesses of the humanity it is to redeem. Another commandment from the lips of Jesus is this warning; "This is not to happen among you".

Dear Lord you who know all my secrets let the fire of the Holy Spirit burn out all my waywardness and let that same fire from the Scriptures of today be received by all your Church on earth as it is in Heaven.
