I read the readings for today just a few seconds ago and I am as a little child awestruck at the first sight of a city. I am always empty headed when I first set out to find the meaning of God's revelation to me. I have made up my mind to continue my life dedicated to opening my heart, and mind, soul, my being to accepting the opportunity that all human lives are given, as was Jerusalem.
Now I can get going and know that this repeated theme of each day is as always the will of our Father for me to live up to. We are all free to choose between the mortal being of our bodily life and the eternal being of our soul which has to steer us away from sin that defies the Will of God.
No matter how rich our worldly life, in physical beauty, athletic prowess or capability of intelligence and all the other attributes that Mammon dangles over our cots and prams as goods which we can attain when "grown-up", our souls know that they have to make themselves ready for death which only they will survive into the Presence which is Our Father, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, who wants to welcome us with the tenderness of Mercy which is also Justice.
Today is my chance to live in this body in the light of God towards becoming the human being image and likeness, body and soul that is the "last thing" of this Universe and that we call "the end of time", the "Second Coming" the "Parousia". May Jesus not weep over me!
Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus come. Amen
Dear Lord, keep my body mind and soul free from sin that is always ready for me to accept by stifling the conscience that has never ceased to try to call me back to the Spiritual Being that is my image and likeness. I think that John's vision probably tells as much about you, the Supreme Being as do all the ideas pursued by all the theologians whom I try to read. The image is vast and confusing but so are the books that I will still try to follow in the time that I have left. You know that these words are the product of my thoughts which are my will, my soul's attempt to approach your mercy with the simplicity of a child that knows she has offended her earthly father. Today the Church remembers Mary, who was a faithful Jew, may she remember the rituals she followed on Earth but use her presence as the only sinless one of us to plead for mercy for sinners on Earth and in Purgatory that we can become spotless as she, in body mind and soul and so ready to complete God's Loving will for us in his creation
