Today we have readings from the earliest days of the Church.

St Paul knows that his preaching is from God. He knows that the Resurrection which confronted him as he went in pursuit of "blasphemers" is Jesus of Nazareth, Son of God. He knows that he has become possessed by the Holy Spirit and that his whole being as a Jew has always been dedicated to the Father.

He is still human and is nervous about going to Jerusalem because he knows that he is now opposed by many Jews who cannot accept that the religion of their ancestors has been replaced by the Perfecting Sacrifice and the Resurrection of Jesus and that God not only welcomes all souls irrespective of their nationality but actively commissions this new preaching to be spread throughout the world.

In the Gospel Jesus puts into words that we can understand the totally greater than any of our thoughts, boundless infinity that is the being of God. We are given a conception of the Almighty that we can fit into our human capacity for thought but must always remember that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is always greater.

"Glory" is nothing that can be imagined. It is always to be worshipped as it is God. God from God. Light from Light. Begotten not made. Of one Being with the Father and Holy Spirit. IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is Glory and we can only believe.

That is why we can call Charles Lwanga and his companions "saints". They believed and none of us  can do greater in this world than that.
