Jeremiah is totally the creature of  the Lord. He is not happy to be a figure of scorn, the butt of jokes. Testifying to the Word of God has not brought anything but struggle to him. Struggle with his listeners and struggle within himself. IAMIAM always wins. Jeremiah proclaims the "EverGreater" and is still derided.

The soul that has lost touch with God, that seems to be abandoned, screams out in the empty space that is any man who has lost touch with God. God's Love is better than life itself. St Paul tells that we have to use our minds to consider the meaning of "God" and the meaning of "Life". 

The Gospel translation that is being read today does nothing by changing the words with which we have been familiar for centuries. The world of clever clerics calls our for recognition of its "cleverness" and can only make itself known by the changes it makes to Liturgy and Bible Texts.

"What does it profit a man if he wins the whole world but suffers the loss of his own soul?". This is not a "hard saying" but the direct truth from God to us. Those who prepared the new translation are claiming that the Jews knew nothing about "soul" which is a Hellenistic concept. There may be human truth in this but it is insignificant as Jesus is the entire revelation of God for all human time.

The OT Jews also had no concept of a "Trinity of Persons and a oneness of being", of Jesus "true man and true God", "of begotten not made". God has revealed of his Evergreatness that which we can understand and make use of. He is sufficient to the day the Goodness thereof. The Bible is the pattern to which all Theology must conform.

 The New Testament is God's final revelation of his being. It is not some human thinking. There has never been any reason to change the Translation to suit the findings of modern scholarship The clerics thus employed should have been filling their time on earth by walking amongst the poor in God's footsteps, within the stench of the sheep rather than sitting in beautiful libraries surrounded by the peaceful quiet and fragrance of the ivory towers of Academia.

Dear Lord do you not burn in the bones of anyone alive today? You know that the successors to your Apostles show all of their weaknesses but little of their strengths. You know that my conscience being lives on after my body has been burnt. You too have this "being" that is created by the Father God to receive the Love that is Father Son and Holy Spirit. May Mary who wept and cared for your dead body on Calvary lead all the Souls that are the Mystical Body of her Son in loving obedience to Christ/Jesus that we on Earth can avoid all sin and by penance open our souls to receive thy mercy of which there is no end.
