I have only just finished reading the mass readings for today but the world has already intruded, a couple of News Headlines caught my attentions and now I can only recall one item from the Gospel. 

The story, the account of subterfuge in the garden, the  "fake-news" concocted by the Temple "spin doctors" is still current not only among the Jews but also amongst Moslems.

We can only pray for those who should be our brothers for entering into polemics no matter how much we disguise such discussions as dialogue achieves nothing. I know by experience that this a fact.

We must love our enemies. That does not include listening to lies that have been current for two thousand years and pretending that Rabbinical Judaism and Islam preached by Mohamed are anything other than our totally human nature, Adam and Eve in disobedience to the Will of God.

This morning I turned eagerly to the Acts and responded joyfully to St Peter's first preaching with the Joy of the Resurrection still fresh in both our minds but have already forgotten what he said.. The "Anti-Christ" that is the Torah and Koran forced themselves into my mind which wants to focus only on the Love that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT offers to all of us who are of the " Good Will" that leads us to become "God's Friends".

There is no other "I", There is no other God. There is no other revelation than the Old and New Testaments. A memory from St Peter's sermon has just sprung up. The being of God is One but he is FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to deny this would be a sin against the Truth that is the Resurrection our promise of Eternity.

I can only pray for the forgiveness of my own sins knowing that the bitter pain of the cross was necessary for  the  redemption of all mankind. The disobedience of man must have a much greater significance than we can imagine for it to need so great a Saviour.

Each day I  pray that I am not bolstering my own ego by recording these prayerful meditations. I am still Alone but always aware that I am Known with divine Love, as are we all, to Our Father who art in heaven. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus come!
