Very few people are aware of me and my morning prayers. There was nothing hidden about the proclamation of the Resurrection and of the New Covenant founded on St Peter spread throughout the Roman Empire.

As I pray each morning I am always aware of the objections to my thoughts that could be directed by those who are made confident by their worldly success and contemptuous of those who are seeking "pie in the sky". Many of my schoolmates and relatives are now, if they are still alive, confident that they have "done well" in this world.

As for me, I have never made "Pascal's wager" but have always listened for the Truth and even at the worst moments of my life been "afraid of the Lord"; first of all frightened by thoughts of hell, but latterly in awe of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and his care for the Jews and early Church.

I pray each day for forgiveness of my own sins and the sins of the world and so am always aware of the present reality in which I live. I do know that there is an awful lot for which we still need to be forgiven.

We do not know why it was at that moment in their history that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT chose to renew "the face of the earth" and bring all nations into the saving grace of the covenant that had been made originally for the benefit of the children of Abraham.

We do know that the Incarnation was announced to the simplicity of a sinless teenager who forever exemplifies how we all should act in our lifetimes for IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is always as present to the whole world as he was to Mary in Nazareth. "Be it done to me according to thy word" is the response each individual has to make to the mystery of our beings in relation to God.

It is always possible that some of us may be alive at the "second coming". That we find personal holiness is the sole purpose of our being as we are all called to know and spread the Good News; to live aware of the Love that comes from and is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and that as we are important to the Father, so should our "neighbour" be to us.
