Jesus warns us against false prophets. Daniel tells the king that all political power will collapse for it is all built on clay. Jesus tells us that the Temple will be no more. Daniel tells us that the "stone" will not pass away and that God's Kingdom will last for ever.

If we take God's Kingdom to be another political system we are led into an undecipherable maze. Jesus saves us from that for his message is clear. "My kingom is not of this world". Jesus teaches us that all creation will continue as it is with all the events that happen then and now to continue for we "do not know the day or hour" of his coming.

Jesus teaches us that we must remain in his Love during our lifetimes. We do that by following his commands and we must never forget that his is the perfect Life. He is the Word of God. God's presence in our humanity. Tempted as we are but never sinning. Dying to rise again, Jesus the perfect man stands on feet that are roooted in Eternity. The perfect Love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit showing us that God in abandoning the Son to death cleanses us of our sins and offers us in the Resurrection supported by the Holy Spirit, the only way to Eternal Joy. Everything else in life is  built in the clay of creation and is totally insecure without the support of God.

Dear Lord again I turn to you to put myself in your hands. Thankfully I am aware of my own weakness but you who are conscious of everything know how much I need your grace to live in the way you want me to. Mary your mother is mother to all of us may she help those who do not think that Grace can be theirs.
