Jesus fulfills the future that is the complete holiness of mankind proclaimed in today's first reading by Isaiah and then praised by the confident joy of the Psalmist.

Even the learned and clever, those who go away in the spirit and believe in their own version of the  present reality of their lives, will come to the realisation that what they are aware of now, their own being existing in time, what they can understand from the past, mankind's record of our place in creation and the unknowable future can also with the favoured "little ones" become the children of God.

For when he sees his children, 

the work of my hands in his midst, 

they will sanctify my name; 

they will  sanctify the Holy One of Jacob 

they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

Two thousand years ago "Emanuel", Son of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the faith of David.

I believe I shall see the Lord's goodness 

in the land of the living.

Jesus walked the earth proving himself to the then-living by many signs and wonders and completed all that we the now-living, need to know on earth so that we can open our Souls, eyes and ears our very being to His Justice and thus 

We can be strong; wait for the Lord

be stout hearted and wait for the Lord.

For his Mercy is the never-ending stream of life poured out by him, for us on Calvary.

Dear Lord, you know everything and so I could sit back now and do nothing more and passively wait for my life to end. I know very little except that I am a living soul, a mortal body that is living in creation and that I have to actively fight against the tendency to sin that has always marred my life. I would like to become a serene presence in my own being, confident in You, untroubled by the Devil, World or Flesh but freedom is an essential if we are to become what it is you know us to have the potential to be. Let me know your will and help me access the Mercy that never ceases to fill up the Communion of Saints with the Struggling and Forgiven Sinners that enables mankind to become the "Image and Likeness" of You our Creator. Amen
