How many of us heard or read the words of St Paul in this morning's Epistle without all sorts of "wokish/feminist nonsense going through our heads. "In heaven there is no marriage or giving or taking of wives". Jesus made it clear to the provocation of the pharisees that, in the state of perfection that awaits us in the Eternity of the Father, there will be no gender issues. Here on earth in the imperfection which form our cultures it is a different matter and everything that begins in the Anti-God, post- Christian froth on the Capitalist Cappuccino that is the West, influences billions of followers throughout our world. Jesus the way, the truth the life, the Resurrection proclaimed his revelation of the will of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to the whole world for all time.

The message declared by Paul to his Church in Ephesus, the home of many breasted Artemis, is that the relations between man and wife should be Christian and be dedicated to reflect the Love that God has bestowed on all of us. Any problems that occur in this relationship should be treated by following "Love your neighbour as yourself" the only rule for life in any form of society on earth. Gold originally deposited in the Temple in Ephesus is still around in some form or other. The Golden Rule is still the way of perfection for each one of us regardless of our gender real or imagined.

God is the Creator of us all and we need to know him as Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be able to live according to his precepts of perfection. We can do that because of the evergreater vastness of the Love Jesus poured out from his Being, Son obedience Father creator and Spirit unseen distributor all one in the  body, broken and humiliated on the Cross. 

Dear Lord you know how it is that control of the material of our bodies seems to have freed us from the need to be the humanity you created. The devil's work is made easier by our all too willing cooperation. Now my mind is trying to focus on you and my being is yearning to be secure in the hope that comes from faith. but I know that at a click of a switch I can be engrossed in something that as it is not you, is trivial and pointless. God strengthen my humanity in the love that is the only way to you. May Mary implore the Holy Spirit to fill the hearts of all mothers and women who are suffering in anyway with the comfort that comes from God. The comfort that can work as yeast and fill the whole world with Mercy.
