I often wonder what it is about mankind that it has always been necessary for our God to review his plan of how he reveals his intentions to us. Abraham and all the prophets knew that Adam had disobeyed and that it was only by obedience that they could fulfill the Will of God but by the time of the Incarnation the original chosen people had become in need of the Ultimate Sacrifice to enable us to begin again in the footsteps of the New Adam. 

The original Adam was created ensouled material, flesh and blood. The New Adam, Jesus, is God himself, Son of FATHERSONHHOLYSPIRIT now true man, begotten not made, of one being with the Father through whom all things were made and all the other attributes as defined under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, at Chalcedon fifteen hundred years ago.

In St Paul's letter to the Galatians he can emphasise as he has had direct experience, that there has been a great shift in the way that God guides his people. The corporal laws that have been preached to them by others have in deed become weakened to become a temporal show condemned by Jesus and our response to God's new revelation in the grace of the Resurrection has now to be Spiritual in words and deeds that are governed by love of God and of our neighbour.

Each one of us can become secure in the heart of our beings only when we connect to the stream of Love, grace that always increases to meet the calls made on it. It is sure that our spiritual life is what leads us to God. We really do have to curb our bodily appetites and to focus our minds on finding and recognising what is the will of God for each of us.

I can write the above with sincerity knowing that my intentions are open to God so that I hope to be on the way to truth and life, but cannot imagine what God's plan is for all those who have never been given the opportunities for salvation as have the Chosen People and Christians who have heard the Word of God.

Dear Lord, help me to continue to call on you throughout this day to be free from sin and devoted to responding to your guidance and Love. You have always known me more deeply than I can know  myself so my prayers for the souls who have lived without ever being aware of you are not an impertinence but an attempt to understand Your will for all of us. May Mary the one human who has full knowledge of and love for you lead the prayers of all Angels and now sinless Souls that are in the perfect happiness that you have prepared for us all, that your forgiveness may be sought by all sinners on earth and gratefully received by our brothers and sisters still suffering Justice in Purgatory. Amen
