St Paul tells us that  we are heirs born free to choose to live lives free from the sins of the body. We are co-heirs with Christ. We are all able to live as Christ did because we share his sonship. He suffered in the body to free us from slavery to sin; we share the liberty of the " sons of God" and can always choose suffering over sin. We have to become "spiritual" in the world of our lifetime; we have to follow the example of the "true man" whose perfect human life should be the model for every beat of our human hearts.

Jesus in Palestine 2000 years ago has emptied himself of the limitless power that is God. He is a son of Adam, the only being created in the image and likeness. He has a soul and this has to face all human temptations. He is God; he knows that he is God but by an act of will inspired by Love and Mercy he accepts to live life as every other human being.

Elsewhere he tells us that Faith can move mountains and proves it today by mercifully straightening the crippled body of the old lady. As the Incarnate Son, Jesus is as constant in his humanity as he is in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All of his miracles are the result of the prayer he makes as a man, at all times, to his and our Father. We too can do this and become a miracle of Love.

Dear Lord, forgive me my sins. Let me have no resentment or anger against any of my personal family and  huge family of humanity of which Jesus is the head. Let me live by one standard and become as constant in Faith as Jesus; even to accepting whatever death I will have to face. May the prayer of Mary and all the Saints bear fruit in the lives of sinners here with me and bring forgiveness to the Holy Souls.
