Those who witnessed the miracles that show to us the Supreme Power that  "I Am Father, Son and Holy Spirit" has over the material universe, his creation, were not all instantly converted to lives of faith-filled holiness. All those who witnessed "Isaiah's Miracle of the Sun" did not begin and continue to live righteous lives after that miraculous moment.

St Peter, who had witnessed the Transfiguration and numerous other miracles, still denied knowing Jesus when confronted during the trial. I have never in my own person ever experienced the power which at first blinded St Paul and then filled him with the Holy Spirit so much so that he has become a standard for us who can read his letters and be guided  2000 years after they were written.

Today I am living with Faith, Hope and Love in my heart.  I am  aware of my own sinfulness. I am also aware that I was never as committed to sinfulness as I am now, thanks be to God, committed to sincerely seeking out God's will for me and pledging my being to follow it. This makes for a much better life even in this world than I have any right to expect for myself.

Many of us who are co-operating with the Holy Spirit see the change from habitual sin to the search for holiness that we experience in our lives as a "miracle", something that is an exceptional occurrence and contradictory to the laws of our nature.

In reality the nature of all creation obeys the laws of matter that are part of that moment the Love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit uttered in the Eternal Being "Let there be Light". Mankind, me,  and the billions of others that we are, are created to know, love and serve. It is sin that is the aberration. An  incredible negative deed, a reverse miracle of human will that denies the Love and Trust of Father, Son and Holy Spirit which is the natural place for us all to accept and to live within.

Dear Lord, you assured the Pharisees that you were the Son, coequal with the Father and with him the Holy Spirit. IamIam's true Being revealed to all mankind. After prayer in the Temple did some Pharisees always join the throng captivated by your charisma and medical miracles from which you ofttimes sought in solitude the perfection of being fully united in prayer with Father and Holy Spirit? Help me to ponder as did Our Lady during her life on Earth the incomprehensible wonders of your being. Let me find truth in Scriptures and in the writings of your saints, never forgetting that if I truly open my heart you will fill it with all that I need to atone for my sins and learn to hate them as the source of the pain you underwent on my behalf. You know that I have lost touch with the Worldly Institution which your foundation has been for the last 1800 or so years . Help me to be part of the "Sabbath" that you also founded, from the agony of the cross, in the New Holy Family of Mary and John. Dear Lord hear my prayers and help me to avoid  occasions of sin which mankind is still choosing to increase as a function of our mastery of matter. Amen.
