I am here again this morning a soul looking to God for the forgiveness and mercy that has been given to us by the Incarnate Son. As I try to be completely free of this world and to all that I cling as a living human, my mind is able to know that God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit by his Providence keeps the world in being as a reflection of the Love that is his inestimable Being. God IS. IAMIAM is beyond all time and timelessly knows how Adam and Eve sullied the perfection that was Creation. 

God has never left us alone and has responded to the moral weakness of Humanity by offering us glimpses of his Glory to inspire us, that no matter the many wonders humans are still creating and perfecting, to know that there is only one way to be human and that is to recognise and return his Love and to self-limit our beings so that we do not destroy our God-like souls by sinful pride.

There have only ever been two sinless human beings. Mary is the only "super-human".The Holy-Spirit ensured that her Soul had the perfection of Eve without any of her and Adam's legacy of original sin. That is why Theotokos never died.

Her Son, Jesus God is IAMIAM without limits of time or space but choosing to be truly human by emptying himself, in all the stages of  natural human development. He was conceived into time, born and grew to manhood.

Many of us think that this seems like a lot of palaver to go through for an All-Powerful God but that is what it means to believe in God and even if we know all the secrets of the Universe, God is still the Evergreater and only has Love for us.

 That Jesus chose to experience manhood tells us that there is something special in being human more than just breathing, eating, drinking, reproducing and dying. Jesus' total humiliation and death on the cross was countered by the total glory of the Resurrection.

The mother standing and weeping at the foot of the cross had all her sorrows blasted out of existence by the return of her Son to whom she would be united without undergoing the pains of death. Being thus chosen and favoured by Father, Son and Holy Spirit really does make Mary Supermother of all mankind.

Dear Lord I pray as always that I never become self-satisfied in anything. Strengthen my being by your grace that I may resist all that attracts me to sin and help me to return your love sharing it with all my family and by joining my prayers to those of Mary and all the saints whose souls never cease to praise you. May all our souls seek your grace and may the Holy Souls in Purgatory soon receive their complete forgiveness in heaven.
