We all live in the same time which is measured by the fixed rules of the of the relationship between the relative movements of our world measured in days, hours and seconds, the moon months and the sun seasons and years. Human time is thus measurable it cannot be controlled by man but it is the when and where we live out our lives. 

Humanity is, as far as we know, the summit of creation and all of us are souls which are  eternal beings reflecting the Glory of God ( image and likeness) and minds and bodies which are the "dust" of the material world and thus limited by when and where we are born and  in death will rot. God creates us to live in order for us to use and care for his earthly creation of which the most important part is our souls

Cyrus was part of God's Providence as are we all. God never forces anything onto mankind but guides us at first through prophets and then by the Incarnation reveals that we can all choose to attain the eternity he has created us for. Cyrus thus by an act of his own will fulfilled the Will of God and ordered the rebuilding of the Temple. This was an earthly act as was its destruction. "My kingdom is not of this world".

Jesus tells us today that if we catch a glimpse of the light of Eternity we should not hide it but share it with our friends and family. Cyrus and the other great rulers, the stars, the celebrities have played their part in God's Providence and shone in this world with brilliance but in death  have learned the truth of Jesus' message which at no time is hidden under a bushel. We all from the highest to the lowest dwellers in Providence have to answer for the condition of the eternal part of our being, our souls not for our care of buildings and Trust Funds.

Dear Lord let me learn how to accept the Love that is the being of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and throughout this day also accept what I encounter in your providence. May Mary and all the Saints within their timeless immersion in eternity not forget the needs of all our souls which are still living on this Earth or atoning for their sins in Purgatory.Dear Lord, have mercy on us all. Amen.
