Yesterday I anticipated the enigmatical answer to  "But what of this man?". Today, John's Gospel is now complete but never finished as it generates millions of ideas, thoughts and words throughout the rest of time.

We each of us have to open our beings to the promised "Spirit of Truth" which the today's Gospel Acclamation reminds us is the reason we begin our days with a liturgical celebration of the Incarnation.

There is so much truth that we can find in the Church of Peter that I have to ask myself what it is that makes me question whether it is truly fulfilling its role as preserver of the Sacramental Presence of God in this material world.

Similarly I always wonder what it was about the Jews of Jesus time on earth that he had to rectify even though they were his "Chosen people".

Today we have no difficulty in recognising that many sins are being perpetrated in defence of their "God-given Land" by those who occupy Palestine as their "Right" arising out of the response of natural justice to the evils they have suffered at the hands of " The Church of Peter, Christians" over the centuries that have intervened between the Sacrificial Confirmation of  Gods' love for the world and for all us human beings, and the "these times" in which humanity's special relationship with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is either forgotten or denied.

It is always a sin to hammer a nail through the hand of a man. It is a still a sin to pour fire over the heads of little children whom Jesus asked us to baptise.

Today I can only grieve for all the violence that  continually plagues our world. I am only one man but I must plead for forgiveness for there is never justification in the eyes of the crucified Jesus for any violence. 

I have always regretted and tried to make up for any of my personal violent moments. Who is to accept responsibility and atone for the images of burning children from Cambodia in the 60s to the  Gaza of yesterday that have become part of my awareness of being alive at this moment?

All of this evil is the sole responsibility of  human beings who from the beginning have always ignored God's orders and then refused to acquire the Mercy that is the Sacramental Love of his very being, the free gift that is always the "Good" he sees in his creation no matter how much we disfigure it

Maranatha Lord. Come Lord. Jesus Come and fill the hearts of the faithful as you did when we were alone with you in the wonder of your New Creation.. We can do zilch without You but Nothing is impossible for you. Help us all to seek out your Mercy for all our personal sin and that of our communities which we condone by our silence and inaction
