Yesterday I had to take longer than usual to complete each moment of my morning's preparation for the day ahead. I have to know that it is the "pagans" who babble and that even if my thoughts as typed  are confused and unintelligent that is not an issue, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit know the integrity with which I try to raise my mind and heart to Our Father.

Today the words of Ezekiel, the Psalm,  Paul and Christ are the complete history of faith and are eternally the Truth of God revealed on earth. 

Our personal sin damages the perfection of creation and God's Providence. 

The psalmist prays that God unfrees our will and takes from us the freedom that is the perfection of our being.

St Paul sings the most perfect hymn to the Incarnation.

Jesus tells us that the perfect human being does the Will of the Father.

I know that have typed enough for, although, I am intrigued to know happened to John's congregation, the clarity of today's readings needs to be pondered and acted upon throughout the rest of my life.

Dear Lord I understand the humanity of the plea made by the Psalmist. But You do not want us to be only the highest of your order of animals. We are  to be your image and likeness alive in Creation, living in worldly time. The words of the prophets were heard for a time. You know that I am fearful for the future of your Church on Earth as it seems unable to resist sinfulness. May my prayers be joined to the Heavenly Chorus in praise of you and in pleas for your forgiveness and Mercy for all repentant sinners living on Earth and in Purgatory.
