During "those days" when Jesus lived the perfect human life in this world, Palestine was enjoying the worldly peace named "Pax Romana" in our History books.

Worldly peace always comes about because war stops when the most powerful wins. In my lifetime this "peace" has been the result of the mutual fear of total annihilation that has existed between Moscow and Washington.

We have always devoted "Worldly Peace" to the pursuit of Mammon and celebration of our "humanity" by our joy at living, self satisfaction and pride in our creativity and thus a forgetfulness of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT enhanced by use of the substances, natural or otherwise that bring "joy to the heart". 

In "these days", when we live as human beings in "our own now" the joys of the material world are available as never before. Each of us can plaster our consciousness with a thick layer of  materialism and so carry an almost impenetrable carapace of wilful "blindness" as so many tortoises on our self chosen "route " deliberatly avoiding "the Way, the Truth and the Life".

While we are on earth our lives consist of words and deeds, The Gospels are the record of the Incarnation in word and deed. "The Acts" are the deeds of the Apostles. Jesus tells us that our foundational deed is to believe. "The Father and I are one". Then we accept our lives "Take up your cross and follow me". We follow because we know that he is the "Peace that passeth all understanding" it is peace without fear.

Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you. 

Not as the world gives do I give to you to you. 

Let you hearts be untroubled; be not afraid.
