The perfectability of human behaviour is praised by Jesus in the Sermon. The Old Testament reading is much the same. We follow the Lord "even through the shadow of death" and have done our duty with the  reward of living water. St Paul is facing a heresy that has arisen out of the "Resurrection".By some it has been denied that we will  be risen from our deaths,  but Paul's preaching and that of the other Apostles is a proclamation of the Living Body of Jesus, our Lord and God. Jesus is the witness that at the end of time our bodies will become a new form of life just as Jesus was the 1st fruits.

Without the Resurrection we are indeed the most unfortunate of beings for we have the Risen Lord who was seen and touched by the first witnesses as our guarantee that with our cooperation we live in a cloud of Unknowing Love that protects us now and prepares us for the rewards of heaven.

Blessed are we who know, love and serve the Lord no matter the hardships that come upon us because of our service. Our flesh/the matter of the universe has no life in it and will be destroyed into a nothingness but we by the reality of the  Resurrection can live the perfect life now to reach the Eternal worship of Father Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord may your words and their repetition by prophet and Apostle remain in my heart this day so that I will be without sin as I grow closer to you. May Mary and all the Saints add their prayers to mine that your Clergy here on earth come to their senses and truly believe what they hear and say today during the Eucharist.
