There have been many prophets since The Lord spoke to Abraham. There have been many saints since Jesus completed the total revelation of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. There have been many brilliant theologians who interpreted revelation since that time. And yet.....

Somehow the people who were led out of Egypt and given free rein in the Promised Land were unable to justify the confidence that IAMIAM had had in their ability to recognise and respond to His love for them.

In addition to his general condemnation of the faithless cities in yesterday's Gospel Jesus also specifically condemned the Jewish scribes, pharisees and priests, those who claimed to be able to know and follow God's teaching through the prophets.

It seems that their failure was in not practising what they preached and thus scandalising the little ones who were desperately in need of a Good Shepherd. 

Jesus knows what is going on in my soul at this moment. He knows the struggling in my mind that comes out through my fingers on this wonder of mankind's own making. He knows the disappointment that I feel when reading the works of the learned and the clever for their thoughts and words are magnificent but the Church they have left for me and all the other little ones has never been more successful in guiding us than the Temple Sacrifice that was replaced by the Incarnate Son, God himself.

It seems to me that the state of all Ecclesiastical Institutions is very much the same as was the Temple Religion known by Jesus and the Apostles. 

"Our Saviour liveth" but we are getting further and further away from him by getting mired down into the futility of temporal life on Earth and ignoring his loving revelation of the eternal joy that is ours by choosing to accept over anything else his Love and Will in this world.

Divine Justice is tilted in our favour by Divine Mercy so by even the slightest positive response on our part we can reap unimaginable rewards. We do, however, need to start getting our wedding garments ready and spare batteries for our lamps as we do have the word of Jesus that we need to be ready for "we do not know the hour of his coming" or even our "going".

Dear Lord, join my prayers to those of the millions of others that are being raised to thee. May the power of Holy Spirit grant pardon for all my sins and remind all of your children that although we are brilliant at manipulating thoughts and matter we are fragile and that our main responsibility is to you. The universe and all it contains is destined to pass away but my prayers will stand for they are You speaking through me. Help to remain faithful. May the spiritual family that you created on the Cross be for me more than an idea but the reality of my remaining life and may prayers for the pardon of my sins and those of the Holy Souls be joined to those of Mary and all the saints of heaven. Amen.
