As I wait for the words I need to begin this day, to form in my head I know that God has direct access to my being and that he wishes only good for me. It is so for all the human beings alive. God knows us all and he has for each of us only good will. He helps us in our response to his will by the guidance he has been revealing consistently since the beginning of time.

All of mankind however has always tried to "improve" on what is shown to us in his creation. Adam and Eve knew better than God and they discovered that they were naked so tried to cover themselves with fig-leaves. The purity of God's creation was blemished and to this day all of us have to combat the tendency to sin, to deny God, that is the origin of all evil in this world.

The ten commandments given to Moses are the basis for righteous living. Jesus adds a lot more to this life plan. He tells us that all sins can be forgiven if we turn the attention of our being to  Himself, the Father and Holy Spirit and creates the Sacraments to help us.

God knows that it is impossible for creatures to understand their maker. Man-made and coded machines can never understand or become the freedom of "God's image and likeness". 

Throughout the world up to the first century God had done wonders for the Jews who, as St Paul tells us still asked for miracles even after the Resurrection preached by him and all the Apostles. The Sophisticated Minds of the Greeks pursued ideas with which to frame the awareness that they had of existence. "Resurrection" was to them just a word as it had been similarly without meaning to the Apostles when Jesus first used it.

It seems to me that we have only got part of God's revelation and that the "Second Coming"  which was the longed for hope of the first Christians has got lots more to teach us about Our Father and the New Heaven and New Earth that Jesus will bring at the end of Time. Marantha Lord Jesus, Please come soon!!

Dear Lord let the way, truth and life brought to the world in Palestine be open for all peoples of the world so that we all can strive to do your will. I know that even though I am a sinner you care for me as much as did Mary care for you when you were a baby and infant. May her prayers and the prayers of all the saints flood the world with grace so that each one of us can live without sin to praise your Name and do your Will. Please come soon.
