The wild bunch that Moses had lead out of Egypt needed to be contained and given direction in their lives. Even when Moses in the presence of God was having the basic law for all humanity explained to him they were messing about making a "god " for themselves. No branch of humanity has been created that has not sought to work out how or what can be the source of the consciousness of being every individual experiences. I know myself and then I know my mother before growing in awareness of the world and the others in it.

Jesus the Son of God was begotten not made. He was begotten of the flesh of the humanity that Moses had with great difficulty saved and schooled in the ways of God. Jesus is a man as we are. He is a Jew from Palestine and has a body soul and mind. He knows the weaknesses of the flesh and of the mind as we know them but his soul he keeps free from sin even though he accepted the Baptism from his cousin.

The readings of today's mass show us how we are to behave in the security of the Law of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are to be no changes to the Law. Jesus is our Saviour and model of what we have to be to serve, to love and to obey.

Dear Lord there is no God but you. Forgive us who  even though the Son is incarnated to suffer and save us still thrust your love back into your face. Forgive me for my sins and let the suffering in my family and in the whole world know the peace of your love.
