I really do not need the work of any philosopher to be sure of my own existence. I am sure of the reality of my own "being". I am sure therefore I am. 

A theologian of our times teaches that the new born baby knows that it's "being" is not in the loneliness of solitude by experiencing the certainty of its mother's love that is her smile. We become more and more sure of our being as we grow nurtured by love.

Every child deserves to have that human/mammalian first experience of life but the unacceptable truth is that there are many who do not. Man's selfish inhumanity to man has scoffed at the Love of  IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT by ensuring that unwanted babies were killed by the ancient crime of  of "exposing" them to the elements or the modern evil that is the misuse of our freedom manifest in the slogan "My Body My Choice".

As we grow older we can come to the understanding that our human being is reality because each of us is in the care of the Divine Love that has been incarnated in Jesus "Son of God, the High Priest who has passed through the heavens and has been tempted in every way as we are but remained without sin".

His Love is for all of us sinners and just alike, but we can refuse to accept it and make our choice for our finite selves, and the material world and  thus bolstering up the power of evil. Each generation  follows on to become as evil or more so than its predecessor. A process that can only be stopped when each one of us truly renounces, devil, world and flesh by becoming what Our Father intended us to be.

This is completely revealed by the prophets and finalised by the Son in his incarnation. He only ever condemned the self-centered religious attitudes of Scribes and Pharisees and basically told us all, when answering to all worldly power personified by Pilate and the Chief Priests to focus on our personal faith as the Kingdom of God is not of this World.

 Jerusalem cannot be "buildeth" here no matter how green and pleasant the land.

Dear Lord, you know that this is the 84th anniversary of my birth and that through this long life of mine there are many times that I have rejected you in my sinfulness. I know my own sin and seek the forgiveness of which I have only ever momentarily despaired. At the start of my life bombs were falling all around and the greatest of all inhumanities to man was treating your "chosen people" as a product to industrialistly  harvest there from anything that was valuable in this world and then destroy what was left. On your cross you atoned for all sin but we have failed in the use of that Grace just as did those to whom you made the first revelations through the prophets of the chosen ones. I know that for me too it is true that there are none of the sins of this world that I could not have avoided without your grace. May my future life become a thanksgiving for your grace and plea that we all can avail ourselves of the abundance of your mercy and avoid our sins for which we have no excuse and are more than guilty in refusing your grace and choosing in our freedom to give up the Eternal Joy that is the end of this life when we return to Our Father the Love that he has lavished on us.
