St Paul is this morning praying from the depths of his being that his converts become aware of the divine unity that is our purpose in life to seek and to witness by our way of living. Our own being is the "sign of the times" that we ignore at our peril.

Jesus does not often reveal annoyance. Nor does he conceal anything about himself that we need to know.

The incarnate IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT knows that mankind is focused on the material world which is known by our sense data, interpreted by human intelligence. Jesus our fellow man is not a created replica an "artificial God" which has been created by God to make a point in a debate that he has had since the beginning of time with an equal alternate eternity.

Jesus is the only Son begotten to experience the being of man lived in time. "True Man and True God".

This morning Jesus allows his human frustration to show in his exasperation and tells us the truth about ourselves. The "weather forecast" stands for the totality of human knowledge. He tells his listeners, all of humanity, that we are intelligent enough to explain the whole of creation and yet we ignore "the sign of the times" that never changes. Each one of us is a created eternal soul living through the time created in matter.

Time changes constantly but "My word will stand" and the "sign of all times" is the dying Christ on the cross outside the city walls. The body Jesus dies there in totality but the Resurrection completes the revelation made by Our Father throughout the ages and also today. 

We become "hypocrites" when we follow our own egos and block-out completely or  pay only lip-service to God's calling us to live sinless holy lives in this world. Death is not only the end in this world, but also  the beginning of a new life in the loving and never-ending peace which passes all understanding. It is the beginning of the Great Adventure that it is to stand before IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Dear Lord, Let this day become for me a prayer that keeps me focused on the Grace that is Your Love for your creation. Let me learn how to live for others as you showed on your way, truth and life. May my continuing life be one of penitence and fear of reoffending. Let me join my prayers to those of Mary and all the Saints and let me become part of the family unity that you knew for thirty years of your life and entrusted to Mary and John to continue. Let your mercy continue to shower down like the rose petals seen by St. Therese and let me be open to your guidance and thus be defended from devil, world and flesh. May the Holy Souls continue to pay their dues to justice and let us all realise that the utter pain of your sign for all times results from  even the simplest of our sins. Amen
