We are living our lives to be holy.There is nothing more important for us to do this day than to serve our God.  We have to know God, Father Son and Holy Spirit, We have to serve by worshipping what we know. We have to love what we know and serve for the God we know and serve is Love.

The Law revealed to Moses explains to us how we can live in holiness. We are individuals and known as such by God. As we grow through childhood we become aware that we are living with others and although at first we can get anything we fancy by screaming blue murder, we soon learn, especially if we have siblings, that we are not the centre of the Universe. Many of us do not learn this lesson well and throughout our lives know, love and serve only ourselves. These are the "goats.

We are loved by God and he teaches us that we have been created to use our human freedom to chose during our lifetimes words and deeds that reflect the Love that he is. God's will is that I should grow up from infancy when my every wish is my command and taking charge of my being put others before myself.

All sinfulness happens because we allow our own beings to become our God who must be obeyed by all. As we prepare to celebrate the Liturgy that commemorates the most important event in History we must in adult but childlike Christian humility remember that Jesus teaches us that his "Abba" is "Our Father" and that by the grace of God, we can live in holiness. "For this cause I came into the world that I might bear witness to the Truth".

Dear Lord, I pray that my thoughts and deeds today are all guided by your Love and that I avoid sin and the occasions of sin . May Mary's and all the Saint's prayers for all sinners bear fruit in repentance and acceptance of penance. May all victims of sin avoid blaming You as each sinner has the freedom to choose to sin or not to.
