The world-weariness that is evident in the first reading of this morning's mass is only valid of a world without Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The world is truly meaningless, without pupose, if God had not revealed himself to Abraham for the descendants of Moses had lost sight of the creator of the Universe and of Adam and Eve the first of us made in the image and likeness of our Creator God.

God has no need of us. It is his Love that is so abundantly overflowing that we are created out of his joy at his being; that the Creation, natural and supernatural is alive with a real being; we, image and likeness  are the apex of our world reality and we have within our spiritual being the freedom to chose or not, to know, love and serve.

Choosing to believe needs to be followed through by the behaviour that is revealed by the Holy Spirit through the Word. Jesus has eternally been the the way, the truth and the life and it is his history, in the real time in which we all live that is God's final revelation and our ultimate security that we are all loved and have available, the grace that will enable us to see God in  Eternity, the House with Many Mansions that the Father has prpared for us.

Herod is always seeking; first, the Child, then, the Baptist, then the Saviour, but he is also always destroying. That is also the effect of sin in my life.

Dear Lord the greatest Wsdom of our lives on Earth is to hear your Word and follow it . May I come to share this Wisdom with all your peoples so that our sins may be forgiven in the sincerity of our answer to your call. May Mary whose obedience was a true reflection of you Divine Love continue with all the Saints to praise and seek salvation for all our world.
