In the continuation of his Gospel, The Acts of the Apostles,  St Luke recalls the events that followed the Resurrection.

The Church is surely right in that she brings these events to the attention of us, the believers who need to base our lives on "every word that comes from the mouth of God" and on the events that give rise to our "Scriptures" as we live in these days that were the "those days" of two thousand years ago.

We all have an obligation to live in this world lives that reflect the life of Jesus. Jesus is the "True Man" the perfection of humanity. 

The Gospels record the three years that  IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT showed himself, taught by word and deed the way that each individual who ever lives can respond to Our Father in order that we by doing his will, can attain our share in the Glory of Eternity. 

Our Father offers his loving support to all of us. None of us is ever truly alone except when we cling onto sin and deliberately separate ourselves from the Love that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT ceaselessly generates to search out for his lost sheep.

After a very shaky start St Paul becomes the perfect disciple and never looks back from the furrow he ploughs as powered by the Holy Spirit he broadcasts the seeds that still announce the Good News to the whole world.

Each of Paul's missions reflect the pattern of Jesus' life on Earth. Today Luke records his farewell to the Church at Ephesus, St John remembers that part of Jesus summary at the conclusion of his mission that emphasises that John and the other Apostles have witnessed his human life but "there is something greater here".

On Earth, we can never completely understand but we can all believe the Resurrection for when we follow the Way, Truth and Light nothing can harm us in this life and the death of each of us becomes the finalising of true contrition for all our sins and a glimpse of the Glory that we call "The Second Coming".
