The readings for today's mass are short. Jesus spends a night in prayer. He is truly man. He is also truly God. He has chosen to become empty of all the power of God. The ever greater Father, Son and Holy Spirit has become totally man even in his worship. 

The Incarnation is timeless as "Will of the Father" but within time as Jesus, son of Mary. St Paul knows himself as a "Roman Citizen". He also knows himself as one of the "Chosen People". The citizens of Ephesus have been aliens, non - chocen gentiles, but are now the Church.

The Apostles are all chosen by Jesus to be the foundation on which will be built his mystical body, the guardian of our souls, the channel through which will flow all the gifts from Eternity to  support in the Love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit each created soul in the wonder that is Creation.

I am "Alone but Known" because I cannot join my brothers and sisters in Christ in the Institutional Church that became very quickly, more Roman Citizen than Mystical Body. I hope that in my prayers I can find a true path to the Mercy of Father, Son and Holy Spirit directed by the prayers of Mary and all the saints in the Mystical Body of Christ, the supreme union of Heaven, Earth and Purgatory.

Dear Lord, help me to pray. Let me not be lead astray by thoughts that should conform themselves to your revelation and teaching. I thank you for the security in Faith that I feel in the depth of my being. Let me become a willing prisoner of your Love and may these prayers and the prayers of all the faithful bring Mercy and forgiveness to all sinners here on Earth and to those repenting in Purgatory.
