We are free to live our lives in peace with our families, friends and nations but everywhere and at all times we seem to be incapable of aligning ourselves with the will of God. In the Old Testament IAMIAM was always able to forgive his people Israel and rescue them when that nation failed to do its duty.

God certainly believes in me/us. I can only speak from my own experience. I know that I have been rescued many times when I have been trapped by my own sins. David lost his son and was devastated. Jairus' daughter died before Jesus could come to her. Jesus reversed the course of nature and restored her to life.

Two thousand years ago Jesus completed  by his life, death and resurrection not only the revelation of  the wonder that is our Creator but also "the way, the truth and the life" that we are to lead if we to are to cooperate with the will of God.

I can pray today knowing that I am cared for by the unimaginable Love that is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I am shocked by the functionaries that claim to guide us along the way to truth and life. I am beginning to think that the Church founded on St Peter  never managed to become the Mystical Body of Christ on Earth and that the collapse of Christianity in Europe is a direct result of the Popes and Patriarchs of the first centuries building for themselves "Kingdoms in this World" in direct opposition to the words of Christ. How many of our Popes have not been Caesars in this world? Was it Emperor or Patriarch who was the leader of the Orthodox?

Dear Lord, help me to understand how I can do your will and stay a part of your Church which is the spiritual community of saints. Mary accepted us as her children and John accepted her as our Mother. This is the heart of your Church which is the only way for us to do your will on earth and be taken into the Kingdom of Heaven.  Lead me not into temptation and forgive me for all evil created by my sins. Let all your people praise your name and strive for the holiness that you have created us for. May the Holy Souls remember as they await Mercy that they did and we still do pray for all sins to be forgiven. May the peace of God and fellowship of the Holy Spirit prove to be stronger than all the weapons of mankind.
