I have to say that the ongoing story of Adam/Eve and their children is very hard for me to enjoy.
It does seem that it portrays God as a trickster who in the beginning trapped Adam and Eve into spoiling the Good that was creation and then spoilt their sons by showing favouritism to one over the other.
Today and on many other days I try to talk to God. I see myself as an ensouled body trying to become what Our Father intends me to be and often I fail miserably and become just another material body only able to know and sometimes enjoy the things of this life.
I try to talk to God because I have within me a deep seated need to do so that has only ever been met by the teaching of Jesus interpreted by the Catholic Church.
Coming to the end of my life I have realised that that "Institution" has for the most part only ever been a human institution totally embedded in the material fabric of this world but found that the words of Jesus to his mother and John on Calvary are the spiritual foundation which brings comfort now and thus prepares me for the event that either ends or explains all.
I know that I am not the only one who has had the disquietude that is in my being today.
Jesus seems to be exasperated by the Jews who only want "signs". Two thousand years later I am yet another voice crying out in the wilderness that is still the Jesus' (the completed revelation of God) generation. Everywhere I look at the world I see the signs that are the sins of hedonism and greed being the main activities of the mankind Jesus suffered so much to save.
IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT reveals in my heart, however, that the eternal vastness of his Love is much more than even what is the collective knowledge and experience of all the people who have ever been created, used now to create "Artificial Intelligence", and can first be seen in the smile of our own mothers and in the "fiat" of Mary who is the Sign that we have been reconciled and that all sins can be forgiven.
The Incarnation is the first sign of the revelation that God loves all of us. The life of Jesus teaches us how to begin our own step by step response to that revelation. The Resurrection is the completion of that Love that is not just an idea or an opinion but the reality that God himself shares with us. He is the first fruits of the New Creation that will also be ours.
If I lose touch with that my life has been lived in vain.
