I am responsible for myself. I am the only one created being that knows myself from the inside. God reveals himself to the countless number of souls that fill our world and we all have to answer to his scrutiny when the time comes. 

In today's Gospel, Jesus' "hard sayings" continue  by identifying specific locations which had not given the correct affirmative response to his proclamation of the "Kingdom of God"; they will face severe judgement on the "last day". Hanging on the cross, however, he prays for his executioners "Father forgive them for they know not what they do".

Living today in the world that continues to grow but where Capernaum and the rest have become the objects of Archaeology, I know that the "Word still stands". I know that "in the beginning was the Word". I also know that the Father knows "every hair on your head" and we are created out of Love that is Father Son and Holy Spirit.

The events of this day that are happening now throughout the world, that have ever happened and will happen are the result of the free/undetermined / unprogrammed  interactions of billion of souls to themselves, to each other, the situations they have found themselves in and to God's revelation of himself. 

There is no intelligence, born or artificial, that can understand the vastness of  God's Providence but we can all know something far greater than all our world and its history, namely that it will not go hard with any one of us if we listen to God's Love as revealed to Moses and accept the forgiveness that is Jesus' life, death and resurrection.

Dear Lord, help me to continue this life never forgetting that to be in the vastness of your Glory is the sole aim of my being and that you lead me and all the souls of the world there for you are the way the truth and the life. We are not alone for you are still present with us to the end of time and Mary and all the Saints continue to help us and the Holy Souls with endless their endless prayers and petitions.
