Each morning as I wait for this computer to wake up, I ask myself the same questions about the life I have led. There is very much that I regret about my own behaviour and very much about the world and the people who thrive in it which appalls me.
Solomon was born to become King. He accepted this as a duty revealed to him by God's Providence and prayed for Wisdom to govern him before he governed his nation.
Jesus knew that the Apostles needed time to pray and recover after their first mission and tried to take them to a deserted place but the crowds outguessed them and got there before they did.
As man, the Incarnate Son was subject to the Providence of God which is not a Fate predetermined for each soul but is the result of the interactions of all the free human wills which are operating as I write and becomes History as time passes.
God does not will that the Church founded on Peter be so pathetic that it cannot even choose a Bishop.This is now happening in the Diocese of Plymouth. The Church has always been full of sinful men who are prideful, lecherous and avaricious and who have never striven to be part of the Mystical Body which by prayerfully connecting the souls of the living and the dead can keep us in the Love of Father,Son and Holy Spirit. It is we men that have weakened and continue to do so, the structure founded in the Resurrection to guard the souls of all of us and help us to Heaven.
For two millennia prideful priests and prelates have dominated their flocks by claiming that there is no salvation outside of the Church. They are right but wrong about what the Church, Christ's Body on Earth, really is.
It is not a worldly Institution of whatever denomination but is the hearts and minds, the souls of all who humbly ask to be forgiven their trespasses and delivered from evil so that they can do God's will on Earth to prepare for the glory of heaven. We can all find this Church for it is within us founded by the Holy Spirit out of the Sacrifice of Son and Love of Father.
Dear Lord you know what I am really trying to say. I know that you have not created any of us to be damned. We can do your will on Earth because Jesus first trod the path and showed us the way to carry our crosses. May Mary who stayed with you during your tormented agony and accepted her role as mother to all humanity through St John continue to lead us all, Saints,Earth, Purgatory, in prayer that sins may find forgiveness and all Churches become divested of the things of this world.
