My prayer for this day begins with the mass-readings for today, The Feast of St Thomas Aquinas. 

All of the Old Testament is a revelation made exclusively to the Jews. The Letter to the Hebrews is the summation of how scripture, New and Old, can guide all of us as we continue to live in this world.

It seems that it could have been written before the destruction of the Temple had stopped the animal sacrifices that sealed the covenants between IAMIAM and his Chosen People. It is  possible that this dating of the letter could be wrong but it is certain that it was written in the  "real-time" of the generation whose Institutions had crucified Our Lord. 

In their own sincerity those who brought about Jesus' death thought that they were doing the will of IAMIAM, "God's will" by protecting the "Law" from blasphemers.

In the reality of creation, the Incarnation, Jesus, was doing God's will by becoming the Human Sacrifice to complete the revelations of IAMIAM by revealing IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and his total love for Creation.

By becoming truly the brother of all mankind and revealing his Love that has forgiven all our sins IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT does not reject any of the mothers, brothers sisters who are doing the will of Our Father by trying to find a place for our being in the reality of His.

Today I am able to access the intellectual work of St Thomas. He and all the other dead great brains who have left a record of themselves, are, we must all pray, in the presence of God who is so much more than even they could conceive.

Nobody can think his/her way into heaven but it is there for the asking. 

The arms Jesus stretched out on the cross are still open to receive us into his New Holy Family of sincere believers who genuinely live only to do the will of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and reject the human self-will of the ones that crucified Our Saviour, made a Burnt-Offering of their descendants and continue to slaughter in the stiff-necked arrogance that only their father can forgive.
