My keyboard has been renewed and I am getting back to what has become my main act of worship. Yesterday St Paul reassured us that the Word comes to all of us not just to those whose intelligences  can hold many languages and can develop ideas even to the extent of approaching an understanding of the Glory that is Father Son and Holy Spirit. The Theology of the Doctors of the Church is very interesting and clever in this world but only in death will our souls be free to see  God really is and our souls will stop trying to understand, for they will know God as he knows us.

At any rate that is how I understand St Paul yesterday and today. He isn't telling us to become ignorant or to stop thinking but to know that it is not we who find God but in his revelation to the chosen people and in his life death resurrection God shows that he is for all to see and to love.

St Paul is not being over scrupulous when he questions his own conscience. Our consciences are open to the promptings of Satan."Get thee behind me Satan". It is our human freedom to choose to live by the revealed will of our Father in heaven. We are not forced to submerge ourselves in the Love of God,,but for those who do the way to the Father, has ben revealed by Son on Calvary and supported by Holy Spirit here on Earth.

Dear Lord, let me not be overcome by pride masquerading as  a false humility.  I realy am not up to the thoughts of a St Thomas or St Anselm. I am your creation and my soul has been lead along a perilous path by my human ego. You know my sins and I believe that you want to forgive them. May I be truly worthy of your Mercy shed on your creation by Jesus the perfect man your Son. May Mary knowing the fullnes of your Glory in heaven with all the saints continue to pray for the suffering ones in this world that by their lives they will choose God and by their suffering atone for their sins.
