I really do have to take myself by the scuff of the neck and shake myself into the awareness of God that is the purpose for which I have been created.

Even I am a wonder. Everything about me is amazing. And when I look beyond the tip of my nose and see the other "wonders" that surround this self that I know intimately I realise, yet again, that it is very easy to live as my body in this world that has not yet exhausted its material potential.

This morning's prophet, Sirach, reminds Israel that IAMIAM sent them a message through Isaiah that was to bring them back to the seriousness that was a befitting response to the loving-kindness that had rescued them from the slavery to Mammon that was life in the pagan world that surrounded the promised land.

There has not been one change in the 10 commandments that if honoured by our obedience would have let us all live righteously in the world as it is created to be in the "being" of our God. 

He is never ending, unlimited in ability, capable of creating  innumerable universes without any diminishment in his own being and yet aware of each speck that is the basic components of matter in which mankind has lost its soul, fascinated by the process of measuring the corruptible into ignoring the eternal IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

God knows that I have meant every word that I have written above while meditating on the mass readings; he also knows that it was yesterday's readings that I was triggered by. Today is Sunday 15th; ten days before Christmas 2024.

Dear Lord, I know that time has no affect on you. We on earth, however grow to adulthood and then begin to crumble with age related bodily problems. We also often tie ourselves to the things of this world and that St Peter's  Church has never fully become that which you created it to be. The world managed to take over when the Church first challenged the Emperor and our pastors lost touch with their own souls. You know that I am still trying to fathom out  how it has happened that the world in which I am now living has lost touch with you. May I live out my life in the grace which I have often ignored and may these prayers join with those of Mary and all the Saints for Mercy without which none of us can complete your will for us. Pray for us most holy mother of God that we and the Holy Souls be loosed from our sins and help all still struggling on earth to find and complete the will of Our Father, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. Amen.
