Today's psalm returns the exuberant joy that Jesus displayed in yesterday's Gospel reading. The "salt of the Earth" responds with "A new song to the Lord for he has brought salvation" to his people. Many centuries have passed since the Psalmist taught his choir to sing that new song in the Temple at Jerusalem.

We are now at the beginning of the third millennia of  "Christianity". Millions of us have lived and died since the time the followers of "The Law" were first called Christians in Antioch. That City itself has been destroyed and rebuilt several times since the Apostles met, prayed and learnt how to centre their lives on the Resurrection Faith taught by the Incarnation.

In my life-time I have witnessed an incredible advancement in mankind's "greatness". This "thing" that is showing me what I am thinking as I literally manipulate it with the limits of my material being, my fingertips, is so wonderful that it could easily captivate me for the rest of today, even for the rest of my life.

The material world which, even with low-level technology, has always been able to captivate mankind with its natural wonders and challenges to our intelligences is the place created by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT in which for us to have our being. We are all tiny "iams" that are intended by God to be the highest form of his created "Good" in this world.

There is always "something greater here". All of our generations have had "The Law" made known to us.  Each one of us has our freedom curtailed by our allotted time but within our time we all have been, are and will be guided by the eternal law of human life of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT which has never changed over recorded time. We have to use the wonder of our freedom to make the right choice each moment of our lives.

Christus heri, hodie et semper.
