John's letter contains all that we need to live holy lives as God has created us to do. We must always wish the best of everything for all peoples. This is Love. Not a word. Not a thought. Not an emotion that comes and goes according to our perception of our brother's behaviour but a permanent state of our being which treats all humans as we treat ourselves. Who would hand a stone to his son when he asked for bread?

John is "The Theologian" for everything he witnessed during his time with Jesus has been pondered for more than 20 years after the Resurrection and not just pondered in the same way as Mary pondered in her  heart the message of the angel, the growth the birth, the life of her Son, the horror of his death and Wonder of his Resurrection

John writes for all to read and ponder and warns to take care of our consciences to make sure that we are true judges of ouselves not according to ourselves but guided by the revelations of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and witnessed by Mary, Joseph and all the Apostles; witnessed too by all the unknown who followed then and susequently to become God's saints in the eternal joy of heaven.

Dear Lord I can be sure that you know these seconds that I try to devote to you; may my prayers be truly sincere worship of you and not of my own ego. I ask that your care be lavished on all who are desperately in need of Love and whose consciences have been subsumed into their pride and  love of self.
