There are always two parties to any legal agreement.

The "Letter to the Hebrews" today reminds us that the Love which our ever-faithful Father gives to the whole world is the original enlightenment that took the form of "contracts" between himself and his people, Israel.

Our God knows what he has created. In his Divinity he is beyond human understanding. There are no degrees of knowledge in the eternity that is Our Father. Everything that exists, has existed or will exist is known in its totality by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. 

God has revealed in Creation that our human being is the manifestation of his Love. He first revealed this to Israel who had to learn how to use the freedom that is essential for the  being created to become his image and likeness.

Israel, the Jews, have always become so overpowered by their wonder at their own beings that they have become for themselves IAMIAM even though some of them they still utter "Lord, Lord" from their mouths as they perpetrate on others the same evil that has so often victimized them. 

Gaza now shares the evil of Auschwitz.

The first ministers of the Church that is God's completion of his revelation are appointed in today's Gospel. It was after the Resurrection that they became truly aware of the significance of the events of which they had been a part even though only the three Marys and John remained to witness the bitter end.

They were completely human and without the physical presence of the Lord to guide them they were soon able to become victims of their own ego-dominated intelligent freedom of will and began the quarrels and divisions that are still part of the Church founded on St Peter.

There is also the never to be forgotten Church of Love, the New Holy Family created by  Jesus' words from the cross to his mother and dearest friend, John. This is the unseen Mystical Body of Christ aimed for but never attained by any of the human institutions we know as church.

Dear Lord, help me to avoid all temptations and respond to your call with sincerity of heart. Let my thoughts be guided to your Truth. I hope that I am still growing in understanding of you and not swelling my own ego as I write these prayerful thoughts. May I become obedient as was Mary but with an unuttered "How can this be?" recognise your will for me and follow it faithfully until I breathe my last breath. May my family, my world and all other sinners be open-hearted to receive your Mercy and may our souls and the Holy Souls come to the knowledge of our own faults that we have to have before we can be forgiven by your suffering human being you freely offered up for the the righting of the my sins and all the sin of the world which has so malformed the Good of creation.
