Yesterday I was knocked back by a very unimportant accident coupled with the Old Testament reading about Noah and the Flood.
I do these reflections as my response to all that the Scriptures reveal and I want to accept both the Old and the New as the record of God's dealings with mankind. He is "Our Father" and we his children who are born to do His will on Earth. We are part of the concrete creation that is generated as material being out of the Love that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT'S self-awareness.
As I wrote the above, I too was aware of myself and realised that the sincerity that produced that paragraph was truly from my heart; at those moments I was totally concentrated into being a "human will" striving to become an image and likeness, with limited capacity for knowing but able to choose to serve and to love.
My denture plate broke.
I know that there are millions of us alive today who have never known anything but ill-health during their lives There are many wicked men living at this moment. Children are being abused. Babies are being killed even before they have been born.
But from the moment I woke up yesterday I became totally self absorbed in finding a solution for the broken artificial teeth which I only need for cosmetic purposes as I can eat without them. Even though I do pray and try to prepare for my death on a daily basis, it is very easy for me to lose sight of the purpose of my being and become enmeshed in the things of this world.
We are surrounded by wonders, bodily delights and ourselves. It is possible for some of us to create a personal self that is never troubled by thoughts of death and is ready to accept as "sleep" the inevitable end of life.
For me a broken dental prosthetic was enough to completely fill my awareness of being when I should have been concentrating on Noah and the first of IAMIAM'S covenants.
Dear Lord, help me to believe the stories of Genesis. It is easy to believe all the events of the New Testament for although viewed as "supernatural" by all the human witnesses, they are "natural" for SON of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. Forgive me for all the times that I have sinned by putting my corporal and social being before the care of my soul. Help me to continue to live aware of the sufferings you underwent to enable all the peoples of the world to return to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. The best thing of all that I can ask for would be the end of time and your return to inaugurate the New Creation when you will be all in all but first of all forgive me my sins, those of my family and all sinners on Earth and bring pardon to the Holy Souls. May my prayers be joined with those of Mary and all the Angels and Saints who are filled with the Holy Joy that you are for everlasting human life. Amen
