The sole purpose of my life has to be conformity with the revelation completed by Jesus and preached by the Apostles.
This world has never witnessed an event more meaningful and awe-inspiring than the one and for all time reality of the Incarnation, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is "true man". He has used his limitless freedom to beget himself, the eternal Son, body and blood, as are we, in the womb of sinless Mary to thus truly develop as human and grow as the perfection of creation, a New Adam.
We can stop asking "why?" when we know this. God never lies. He wants us all to choose to become "image and likeness" and to know that we can escape from all sin into the freedom of the "Sons of God" because he is our Saviour and has lived the same reality, except for sin, as we do solely "pro nobis", for us. Human sin is so abhorrent and great a counteraction to loving creation, that it can only be eradicated by shedding the lifeblood of God made Man.
I understand that the drama of St Paul's conversion was too much for many in the infant Church, too much to be accepted. People are always strange. Their new faith was based on bearing witness to the earth-shattering Resurrection and yet they could be loth to believe its power to make new converts.
Nevertheless God's gifts to the "Little disciple", "the runt of the litter" were so great that as I read his words written to the Corinthians 2000 years ago I had to slow down and give thanks for the men and women who were able to build up the deeds of Faith that convince me that theirs is the Generation part of which we should all strive to become.
There have been great movements in the History of St Peter's Church since the days of the Fathers but it is my believe that the Hierarchical Institution that is the crumbling reality of today has never truly lived up to its Mission. There has always been a problem in that not only was she consciously "part of this world" but she also took a too an active part in building it up.
How can we read today's "But I say to you; Do not resist the one who is evil but if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also" without feeling shame filled horror for not only all the religious wars that have accompanied the development and decline of Christian Civilization but all the acts of violence perpetrated and incited against her perceived enemies by the rulers of "The Mystical Body of Christ".
Each day I have to thank God for my personal purpose of amendment that guides me to begin each day in prayer and for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who assures me that the Grace of Calvary has always been present in the Church of Love, the New Holy Family and sometimes in parts of its Petrine Institution.
