Everyday that we are alive we exist in the Love of God. We know that our  life is God's and that he has revealed himself and part of his revelation is that we are absolutely free to accept or not his conditions for our humanity. God is completely out of our time and so is aware of our lives as individuals within the millions of posibilities our freedom can choose for us. In the eternity that is God the Son is always present in the Father Son and Holy Spirit but in Jesus God took on our flesh and emptying himself  of his eternal  being became man. 

The event of The Cross is the mystery of God. It is mystery because it is an act of the eternal within time. We can only work towards an understanding of this event and God has left us with more than the dumbstruck awe of the Apostles at the resurrection but with the abilities to know that he is Father Son and Holy Spirit and that his supreme act of Love in Creation, self-revelation and the Glory of Jesus' atonement means that we can use our human freedom to come  face to face with him in his Eternity.

This is the act of Faith demanded by the Scriptures and Christ's continued presence on Earth in the community of faithfull believers that is his Church.

Dear Lord you know my weaknesses and the horror that my sins created for Jesus as he slowly lost his life on the Cross. Let me be overcome in the cloud of your Mercy and for this day continue in the awareness of you with which I have begun it. May Mary whose "yes" was the human act of faith necesary for salvation continue to lead the Church in Heaven in the fight against sinful corruption here on Earth and may her mother's love be with all thy suffering children.
