The Mystical Body of Christ, the Kingdom on Earth is likened to a structure built on foundations. Christ is the all-important cornerstone and the prophets together with the Apostles are those foundations. Each of us become the bricks of the building materials and we are held together by the mortar that is the Holy Spirit.

I did not choose to be born into the Church. For that matter, I didn't choose to be born at all but here am I aware of my own being, thankfully in training to be able to come to the end of my life in the free gift of Love that has been poured out for me. 

Jesus spent many nights in prayer to the Father. Was this the man Jesus praying to the Evergreater, as I try to do, or was it the Son joining the Father in The Holy Spirit in the mystery of the Trinity. Such questions as these have never been answered fully, for God is beyond human understanding and even though they have been with me since I learned the three basic prayers of the Church, The Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be, they continue to be part of the mother's love that welcomed us all into the world and of Mary's love that welcomed me into the Church.

Mary is the Mother of God and at the foot of the Cross accepted John and us with her perfect, sinless love that is the Church, the Holy Family of God's adopted children. We stay in the Church as she is the guardian of the way mapped out by Our Lord. It is obvious to all of us that the Institution we are faced with today has missed its footing over the centuries. In the first years of the Church false prophets and misguided presbyters lead first themselves and then their charges into errors that are still with us today.

Mary's Church of Love is still her heart beating in tempo with the other heart she carried within her for nine months. We have to implore the Holy Spirit to spread this love throughout the institution so that the Pope can truly be Christ's Vicar on Earth. 

Dear Lord let all who are suffering from the evil which dominates so much of our world be comforted by knowing you, loving you and serving you in the present, the ever changing now of your created time, so that we may become part of your eternal joyous now. You created Mary to be the sinless mother of the Incarnation and thus she shares in the Grace won for us by Your Life Death and Resurrection. Let a part of this Grace be shared with all those you know are in dire need. I never forget that I am a sinner and it is your will that has to rule us all.
