I can receive the Mass Readings for today with "joy in my heart" for as I listen to "The Word" I truly know that I am enfolded by Holy Spirit in the pure love that is FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and that I can respond with acceptable sincerity as I raise my heart and mind to the "Invisible God", the Father of the only Son, the Holy Spirit, the revelation of Eternal Reality.
In Deuteronomy Moses completes the revelation that has prepared the Descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to enter into and occupy the "Promised Land". We have to obey the Will of God as it has been revealed to us on Mt Sinai and accept it as the only essential element of our being in order that our own consciences become trustworthy guidance on our way through life.
Today St Paul sings a new psalm of total acceptance of the Faith that he has received directly from the Resurrection. God has renewed his creation and is himself the "Church" which is the community of those who those who truly believe that we can choose for ourselves to be united to become the Mystical Body of which Jesus is the Head.
And who is this Jesus? Son of God. God from God. Begotten not made . Of one being with the Father. Son of Mary. Begotten not made. Gestating as we all have done but without sin, perfect humanity from embryo to the tomb. He lived and suffered on Earth for 33 years only for the benefit of the humanity which today continues to reject the Eternal Love promised by the Resurrection to those who strive to become "Good Neighbours" to enemies as well as to friends.
Dear Lord help me to avoid my personal sins and let all those who are now choosing to live the self-centred lives that are the source of all evil in this world accept the Grace that can fill us all with Joy. May my prayers join with those of Mary and all the saints that we sinners on Earth and in Purgatory come to understand that temptation can be withstood for that is why the Incarnation, Crucifixion and Resurrection completed your revelation of what it means to be "Children of God". Amen
