All of Jesus teaching  to his disciples during his time on earth has for its base the history of God's relationship, his dealings with the people he blessed with his revelation of himself. Today Elijah is recalled in the first reading and in the second Jesus confirms that Elijah was to pave the way and that John the Baptist has completed that task.

The task was to prepare the mind of Israel for the unbelievable force of God walking as a man and teaching only the truth and telling us, not discussing our opinions, what it means to be human and a joy in God's eye as had been Israel, the apple of His eye.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are total evergreater love and show this love to all mankind in the Father's foregiveness revealed in the Resurrection and Breath of the Spirit. Most of us have felt the force of this Love at some time but forgotten it in the pleasures of a material world. Now as we are preparing to celebrate the Nativity we have to know that God is all in all and wants to share that being in Love with all mankind.

Dear Lord let all my endeavours today be made in consciousness of you and be pleasing in avoiding sin. Thy will be done. May Mary who knew you as only a mother can know her child, persevere in turning the human Church back to the Church of Love founded by her Son.
