Monday Week 8 Ordinary Time

In the mass readings for today, Our Father reveals to us his being that has never known a beginning.

The "iam" that is my "being" seems to begin each day that I wake up and know myself to be still alive.

Each day is different for me but "iam" always "miniminiscule" in this Universe.

It is impossible for me to "think" about God but I can respond to revelation.

This morning's first reading "reveals" that he is of one being with the wisdom that knows himself and that there is within creation a rationality which we have to "fear" for we are all, as am I, tiny of the tiniest  in the presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

The psalmist gives voice to the response we all have to have when we try to ponder all that God has revealed of himself.

This morning's Gospel let's us know that Jesus, Son of God,  is also "True Man". He is as human as are we all and can be irritated, but never sinfully so, by our persistently misunderstanding that to believe is to trust and that if we trust, we have to pray; ask for God's help to be sinless in all our doings.

We are all "free beings" and so can all choose how to live out each day as we come into it. The prayer that we all have to make is to know that God has already shown the loving trust he has in us. We respond by conforming our freedom to his will and thus confound the evil that we individual human beings continually create by our willful disobedience.

Dear Lord, help me truthfully  to repent for my sins and to know that I have not done your will throughout my life with the faithfulness that your Love of me requires. You know that I am full of love for your creatures on Earth but do not really know what it is to return your Love for me. You know that each day my being, my wisdom continually fluctuates and I am never consistently at peace as I am now at this moment. Even now there is a nagging from my inmost being that I have to deliberately silence but do so willingly. May my prayer become one with the prayers of Mary and all the saints as we  seek their help in overcoming  evil in this world and imploring the forgiveness that Jesus bestows on all the penitent both living sinners and Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen.
