Every day when I pull myself from bed I have to wake myself to the way I am each day. I have no idea which way my thoughts are going to go but by an act of will I turn my thoughts to God. I suppose that my religion is what I was taught in my family and going to church was part of my being. Many years later my soul, my worshiping self is still turned to God and I am as a little child still looking for heaven but sinning without thought.

Wavering between Father, Son and Holy Spirit and my ego is the story of my life. Greed and pride were my first faults, later lust dominated and greed changed its object to drink. Jesus tells us that he is here to call sinners to repentance for we are required to give up our sins and use our freedom to live righteously in the Love of God.

The Old Testament has God acting directly in the world to reveal his Evergreatness in order that we may come to know his Glory. This is  not a truth that needs to be investigated but a reality in which the billions of created Souls have their existence. The psalm is our prayerful reponse; a prayer in which  the Holy Spirit reveals how we should know the Father, love the  Son and be open to and obey the summonses of the Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord you know how I fall short in my attempts to do your will. Help me to focus on my own faults and sinfulness the sinfulness of others is between them and you. Let all of sinful mankind come to the realisation that each of our souls is known and loved and it is only by each one of us rsponding positively that evil will be conquered. Mary my prayers for the sick and needy are known to you. Please beseech your son to  bring health to the sick and forgiveness to sinful and fortify all of sinful manknd to accept Mercy and live in the Love of God.
