 26/06/2025

I and everyone else are responsible for recognising that we are not just part of some random event in which we are aware only of our own being. We not only have to know, "Lord, Lord" but love and serve by doing his will.

The experiences and awareness of some of the earliest of our forefathers are recorded in the fragments of recorded history that we know as the Book of Genesis. 

Those were the first people to be presented by God with the same task of being consciously aware of their own being as part of the vast reality of creation as am I when each morning I awake from sleep into consciousness of myself and what I know of God and of the world today and its history.

Today, God knows, that I stalled unable, at first, to face the facts that are always the challenges of  being alive. I was "sore afraid" but unable to return to the peace of sleep

I  have, since that dismal first awakening, struggled in the deserts of Ur of the Chaldees and the darkness of the obscurity that is the origin of the Jews and their knowledge of the ONEGOD.

I can be  enlightened by the Psalm which is the joy of developing Faith and realisation of the Love that is the Supreme Being. 

I can finally  leave all obscurity behind when I come into the presence of Jesus.

God, however, knows that I am still, even as I close my reflections today, not as peaceful in myself as I usually am when sincerely raising my heart and mind in prayer. 

There is absolutely no reason why accepting the Will of God should ever be easy and comfortable. The conclusion of the revelations that began with Abraham in obscurity was preceded by the public display of pain and suffering leading to the death of Christ, Son of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and it is my sins that contributed to this ultimate of evils that is the condition for the reset of Creation that enables us all to return with Christ to the Father.

Dear Lord, help me to be truly grateful for your grace which never ceases to help me avoid sin. Let me not forget that I am not alone and that my soul is part of the Mystical Body that is the Church of Love that forms the New Holy Family. Let me never forget to pray for the forgiveness of my sins and those of the whole world. Drive  me away from the self-satisfaction that starts to arrive whenever I think that I am aligned with your will. May my prayers be one with those of Mary as we seek your pardon for the Holy Souls and that the Leaders of Mankind resist temptation and abandon the social evils and love of power that kills the unborn, shortens the span of live and blasts "enemies" off the face of the Earth,
