I know that Jesus is true God and true man. 

I know this in the first place because I was born into a family that practised their religion. We did this as much as to retain our identity as non-Protestants as to demonstrate our belief in God. We believed in "The Church". We believed that our institution was founded by Jesus to be IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT's only way, truth and life.

Ezekiel and the other exiles in Babylon were shattered by what they saw as IAMIAM's desertion of them but were able to retain their non-pagan identity by never forgetting that their nation was intertwined with the revelations of the only true God,  "What nation has as great a god as the Lord". Ezekiel never loses hope in this Lord and what he had revealed to Moses.

Today, even atheist Israelis continue to act as if they believe that they still have the  divine-right of their ancestors and hence themselves to retain possession of the place on Earth where their ancestors completely rejected their own Lord, IAMIAM by killing his Son.

Today, I am able to read the Scriptures chosen as appropriate for today's masses and in my imagination review St John Lateran and all the Churches and secular locations in which I have been to mass. I can see the extant Western Wall of Herod's temple where Jesus chased out the profane money changers.

Everything that I am, do or think is known to Our Father. He knows that I am trying to express my believe in the freedom that he has given to each of us and that since the time that Jesus completed his mission on earth each one of us has been provided with all the facts and grace to act in obedience to the complete transparency of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and that this obedience requires minds and souls not land and buildings.

Dear Lord, Help me to complete this day sinlessly and help me to understand how it is that 2000 years after your revelations our world is still dominated by swollen human egos and deniers of your grace. I think I know that the origin of all sin is Adam and Eve's original disobedience. Generation upon generation we progress in the material world. This progress is seen in the magnificence of Basilicas, old and new and the ability to control the very nature of biological life and physical matter. I know that I am as tied to this world as any other. Help me open the links to your grace that I can become pure of heart and a being fit to welcome you in this world that I might be welcomed by You into the next. May Mary and all Saints remember that they too once lived in time. The Unblemished Grace with which You prepared Mary to become Your mother means that she never sinned but may have suffered temptation. You know the power of temptation and  with all the Saints can empathise with all sinners who seek your pardon in this world and atone for their sins in Purgatory. Help me to stay truly on the right path and freely choose to know, love and serve. Amen.
