I am not a trained theologian. I do not know  Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, along with Shakespeare my Latin is "small". I have thus read about God only in English and rely on a long line of learned translators to be able to ponder the Scriptures and the thoughts of wise, learned, very intelligent  God-fearing men and women.

Adam has empirical knowledge of the Being which has created his own self and for a short time does not loose touch with IAMIAM which the coming of Jesus has revealed to be a Trinity of one substance. By the  disobedience of Adam we have been separated  from that empirical knowledge of the Father that was briefly enjoyed in the Garden.

The Love that is the substance of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit reveals itself in our Universe, vast beyond our comprehension but as nothing beside the Evergreater being of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In his Love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit knows each atom of his creation. He knows me. He knows all of us but most of all he knows Jesus, begotten not made, of one being with the Father, through whom all things were created and have their being. 

Today's Temple Discourse reveals that Jesus is "one" with the Father. I think that this unity is that of human soul to the creator. Adam was created out of Love and knew God. Sin has separated us from Our Father. The Eternal Word has emptied himself of his divinity and having been born of a sinless mother lived in time as do we all. I believe that all his miracles are performed through the power of the perfect prayer of the perfect man to his perfect father and creator. The memory of the coming Three Days assure us that "nothing is impossible to God". The Resurrection is God's guarantee that his Love is for all time but that we have to seek it in conformity to his revealed will.

Dear Lord, I am humbly trying to see the way your love works in your creation and thus come to a deeper commitment to love serve and obey. Let my reading about man's interpretations of you not overtake the Scriptures which are authentic records of your dealings with "your people" from the earliest days of human life. May my prayers join the prayers of all my brothers and sisters and together with Mary and all the saints of heaven seek pardon for all sinners on Earth and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. I make this prayer through the grace that comes from your crucified Son, Jesus of Nazareth.
