As always I begin my day with awareness of myself and of all around me. 

I am alive in this world and it is in this world that I have my own opportunity to defy the temptation that overcame Adam and Eve and began the war between devil, world and flesh and God that takes place within my human freedom every one of my conscious moments.

The most important task for every individual today and everyday of the time within which we have our beings is to accept Our Father's Love, the freely available Saving Grace created on Calvary to ensure that not one of his created souls is lost.

I know that it is impossible for any intelligence to fully understand IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT but we all can recognise him in the Word by which he reveals himself. The Word first became heard in human time through the mouths of the prophets and sacrifice in the Temple and the "Law" were the  human responses acceptable to God.

God's historical Word was fulfilled by the events in Palestine of 2000 years ago. The servants of the Temple of God conspired with the World to kill the Word who had made no secret of his identity. At his trial Jesus categorically denied he was a king in this world. In his Resurrection he categorically shows himself to be Eternal God, SON of FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Mankind failed in Adam and again in Prophets, Law and Temple. Jesus' mercy condemned no one except the servants of Law and Temple but he also confirmed that their prophetic teaching was truth inspired by God. 

Today's first and second readings are from St John. They confirm that Jesus is Alpha and Omega. John is the Apostle who had a special place in Jesus' heart. 

There has never been a time since the days of the martyrs when the institution founded on St Peter could be said to be doing a better job of channeling the Love of God than did the Temple and Law but its teaching about IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has always been as secure in its inspiration as the Prophecy of the Old Testament.

"Do what they say, do not do that they do!"

There has also never been a time since "Woman behold your son, son behold your mother" was spoken from the cross that the Mystical Body of Christ does not continue to generate for all who participate in it by sincerely opening and thus responding with their hearts, the infinite Love that was poured out as human blood on Calvary. 

The Mystical Body of Christ, the  saving grace that is Jesus, is not confined in any worldly institution but it is who we are, the spiritual souls struggling on earth, those being punished in Purgatory and the Saints who with Mary never cease to implore God's Merciful love to continue to be poured out over all creation.

Dear Lord, May my sins be forgiven and may I be able to pay their price as I come to the end of my life on earth. You know all those whom I have harmed in my lifetime. Let my prayers overcome the pain created by my transgressions and let this last day of 2024 continue for me to be as prayerful as this beginning. May Mary and all Angels and Saints bring succour to our sinful earth and may the pain of Purgatory be welcomed as Your Justice by all the Holy Souls. I make  my prayers in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
