Most people who have ever lived have never had the personal experience of IAMIAM given to OT prophets during their lifetimes on Earth. We are all dependant on the words which have recorded the events, spoken words and thoughts of others to enable us to have some understanding of our awareness of the needs of the  little "iams" that we all think that we know.

The Presbyter who records his "Vision" of Eternity in the first reading was coming to the end of a long life during which he had been part of the overwhelmingly most significant events since time began. He had been a close friend of Jesus. He had expected Jesus to overcome the worldly rulers of Palestine and had also expected a "human role" in the New Order.

His expectations had been met but not as he had anticipated. His role had been to care for Mary as if she had been his own mother during his remaining time on Earth. Mary is the first human to whom it was directly revealed that the one IAMIAM is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and she and John had been entrusted to become a New Holy Family, the Church of Love.

I live 2000 years after Calvary. I cannot believe that the Body of Christ is and has been the worldly institution that still tells us that Sacramental Holiness is "doing the actions" without any need for holiness or belief on the part of the celebrant at the Liturgy.

Many others than I have also had the same doubts about "clergy" . Some "lapsed" during the first persecutions of the early days. Many others were corrupted by physical pleasure and wealth. No matter how great the offences, however, we were not left alone and even during the "Pornocracy" souls were still able to achieve salvation in spite of the sinful Church.

I have not had a direct experience of God but I have always known that I am in need of the grace created on Calvary and promised from the Cross to those who care for each other as do John and Mary. I see this as the Spiritual Body of Christ that is not of this world but the image and likeness of Our Father. The creator still has Faith in us to do His Will on Earth but has also made His Last Revelation.

"I am with you till the end of time".

Dear Lord, help me to see your truth and live accordingly. You know my faults, my sins, help me to choose the right paths to avoid them. May the human failures that are evidenced in all institutional Churches be overcome by souls who appeal directly to you and to Mary and all the Saints. As always it could be the last time that I and my generation have the opportunity to become holy in your sight. May these petitions join those of Mary and all the saints that all sinners seek out the forgiveness that you died to give us all on Earth and in Purgatory. Maranatha, Lord Jesus Come soon. Amen
