We should be ready every moment of our lives to be judged by God. I hope that it will happen for me in a less stark way than that sentence implies. I have lived for many years tied up in the affairs of this world. I have struggled against my personal sins and being tied up with the business of living in this beautiful world.

The Lord looked on what he had created and saw that it was good. Even human beings have a part in that unequivocal "good" and are still trusted by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to join him in maintaining that good which is to be found specifically in the "image and likeness" that is the human soul.

I have rarely fulfilled the obligations that are the will of the Father for all mankind. In this I am not alone and even, very shortly after the "Resurrection" there was dissent about how to complete God's will in this world among the very Apostles and disciples who had seen  the Risen Lord and received his final command.

What we now know as the Church has grown in this world over the last 2000 years and has maintained her teaching, preaching the word of God, in the face of great internal and external opposition but has always been contaminated by the sins of those who have fought against the teaching of Jesus to pridefully  present their own version of the Truth. 

Jesus is present in the Institutional Church ."This is my body". And where is Jesus there is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. "Woman behold your son, Son behold your mother" is the Spiritual Church of Love, the New Holy Family which has always saved our Faith from the damage which ignoring "My Kingdom is not of this world" has inflicted upon us and the "Church."

The very best thing that the Eastern and Western Catholic and Orthodox institutions have achieved is the preservation of the Scriptures and with them Liturgical Prayer and Seasons. Today She begins Advent and we all can follow Jesus' advice about Pharisees given to his friends "Listen to their words but do not do as they do" and thus prepare with Mary and Joseph to welcome God into the world.

Dear Lord, help me to become that being whom you have created me to be. Help me to keep on trying to understand how I can prepare  to leave this life and become a soul in your presence together with Mary and all the Saints. May the communion of Saints become a reality for me and let the prayers of your Holy Ones bring your Mercy to us sinners on Earth and to those saved and happily accepting the penitential regime of Purgatory. May those who mistake their personal pride for love of You be shaken up so that they do not continue with their self-centered perversions of truth to lead the little ones that they have forgotten that they too are into the Temptation that is the flash-in the-pan headline only religion that insults both You and us, God and man. Amen
