Jerusalem was depopulated and robbed of its wealth. All the men who could bear arms were taken to Babylon, all those of useful skills were taken. The poor, the wretched were left behind. Similar events have continued up to this day. Syria has been devasted and its people become refugees, strangers in foreign lands. At the end of Hitler's war part of the victors' spoils were the skilled scientists who were welcomed with open arms. Today the native peoples of Brazil are being deprived of the habitat in which they lived their natural lives. Russia is again ruled by a meglomaniac and for its neighbours it is as if the last 30 years have never happened.

Such is the life of this world, without meaning unless we completely follow the authority of Jesus. There is no sense in trying to achieve human power and wealth for no matter how we try we will lose them at death. Jesus warns us that doing the will of the eternal Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the only way to Heaven. Speaking in Tongues, miracles, exorcisms can be done by invoking Jesus' name but are no guarantee of the holiness that is beyond the lip service that I am desperate to avoid.

Dear Lord your message recorded by Matthew is difficult for me to grasp for we have been told that "by their fruit you will know them" and you support those speaking in your name in that the signs have been performed but somehow the "Will of the Father" is missing. Is this a warning for backsliding priests and prelates and for us all to aim for perfect sincerity which is available for the mankind you have created to be free. Mary only you of humankind have been created without sin and so have the perfect understanding of the will of God pray that all thy children can know love and obey with the sincerity that can bring us to heaven.
