God never changes. Jesus was born to reaffirm the Love which is Father Son and Holy Spirit . The time we measure and which shows itself in our growth and decay begins with the moment of creation, the Big Bang, out of the created material of the Universe which stretches unimaginably out of the night sky.

God never changes and he filled the mind of Isaiah to preach the  Love that grows out of Christ crucified way before Jesus walked on this Earth. St Paul, a devout and learned Jew, emphasises to the sophisticates of Corinth that he brought to them not God known as an intellectual concept. He preached Jesus  a naked bloody corpse a criminal hanging dead with other criminals on a cross outside the walls of Jerusalem.

Jesus tells us, his disciples, that we are in the world to use our lives to reveal highlights of God's Glory. We have to keep active those missing heart beats, flashes of loving faith, when first we recognised our beings as souls created to know love and serve. Even though it seems that we have blanketed out the taste of Faith with innumerable time filling pleasures and Godless pursuits, we must take Jesus seriously when he tells us to wear our hearts on our sleeves and brightly shine out our witness to our Resurrection Faith. It is for timeless being that we have been created.

Dear Lord you know that my personal failings and recovery have been many and that these moments  I try to spend with you are a pathetic attempt to "shine" a bit among the billions of words that fill the new space created by man's manipulation of your created material. May Mary and all the Saints continue to support and comfort faithful and sinners on Earth and the atoning souls in Purgatory that form the "internet" of your Mystical body.
