Jesus tells us that the endtimes will be revealed by certain signs and that "this generation will not have passed away" before he will have returned. Of course this was a great problem to the Apostles and first converts who had accepted Jesus', the Resurrection, with an urgency begotten by fear of an imminent end. 

Today we have two thousand years to look back on and we too are waiting of the Parousia. We are and have been Jesu's "this generation"for a long earthly time but, of course, God's Eternity has no such thing as time and the Infinite Intelligence contains all knowledge including knowledge of me. He has created me to have a purpose in this world. He has a purpose for creation. He has a mission for each and every one of us.

He has not left us alone and brought out of humanity qualities that reflect on his greatness and power. If creatures can build on from his creation in such a spectacular way what must be the infinite possibilities for our God who has humbled himself in atonement for our sins to the extent of accepting on the cross the annihilation that is death?

Our mission is to bear witness to God's Being by accepting his revelations and acknowledging our sins which still continue despite the gruesome sacrifice of Calvary. Our mission is to build up the mystical being that is Christ's body on Earth so that in it we may find the holiness that is available for us, in our created freedom. The Sacrifice of Calvary is repeated in a human version of eternity here on earth and in the Eternal Presence it is always there.God send us holy priests.!

We are still the first generation . Maranatha

Dear Lord you know that I am still struggling with myself over the Church which seems to have lost sight of your promise to be with her always even to the end of time. Help us all to to find in her the Love shown to us by your mother and the few who did not desert you both in the garden and on Calvary.
