My Faith

"It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins."

Some time ago, I made the necessary arrangements to have my corpse cremated without any of the ceremonies that have come to be known as "Celebration of Life". The fact of bodily death, however, is not the end of life and the life that has departed from the deceased bodies continues to either celebrate the joy of being now directly in the presence of Our Father or regret the waste of the opportunity that human life affords to all of us to conform to the will of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT first revealed through Moses and the Prophets and completed by Jesus as recorded in the New Testament.

I have, however, also prepared a "Funeral Card" and this will be distributed as my farewell to family and the few friends remaining in this world with the hope that some of them might give a thought to the eternity that awaits all of our beings when we come to the end of this life.

I have missed making my daily record of prayer, awareness of living in the presence of God, over the last few days and in this my eighty-fifth year of life know without a doubt that there is not much that I have done during it that could be considered an obvious witness to Christ's Life, Death and Resurrection and so today I begin a testament to the faith at which my "Farewell Card" only hints and after which I have unceasingly striven.

I am in the hands of God. 

I hope that today's Gospel event that happened at the shrine of the pagan god Pan, a source of the Jordan, reveals that I can still have time to ask for pardon for my sins and connect my being to the flood of mercy that has unceasingly flowed as has done that river through fertile Galilee, the truly lifeless Dead Sea  into the world ocean, from the Father even before the Final Revelation of which today's "Thou art Peter and on this rock I will build my church " can be considered to be the definitive beginning. 

 Church as mystical Body of Christ is the total purpose and witness of the Incarnation. 

Each human being is known by God and we are given the wonder of life, free being, in the encoded material universe of natural beauty and our own bodies to enable us to employ our freedom of being to accept that each of is "I am" because God loves "me" as our total meaning, way, truth and life. When we deny or even forget this we add to the pain and suffering, the evil, that is the thus humanly created result, not God's punishment of sin.

We are "Image and Likeness" in our created freedom of  being. 

Adam and Eve could have obeyed God's Will and remained as perfect as the light that concealed the nakedness of their material beings but even divine Love can only be the result of Freedom so humankind has continued generation after generation to become the sin-filled history of the world that it has never ceased to be so since it was first recorded after the days of Noah.

The Bible of the Jews and Christians is the record not only of human events but also of God's revelation of his His Will for mankind made to the descendants, both physical and spiritual, of Abraham. 

In yesterday's Gospel, Jesus, true man, Son of Mary, true God, begotten not made, Son of the Father, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, through whom all things were made stood in the presence of both Pagan and Chosen Humanity in the Shrine of Pan at the foot of Mount Hermon to announce that he would finalise his declared will for mankind in the community of the faithful he created and  founded on the declaration of faith made by Peter.

"You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God."

The horrors resulting from the errors made by the subsequent generations that make up the hateful history of mankind since those times could only have been avoided and still be avoided by each one of us accepting the guidance to perfection that begins in faithful hearts that are open to accept the Love that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, the "Living God" of Peter's declaration.

My own generation was born into a world in which the grace created by Jesus and entrusted to his foundation on Peter had been routinely refused for centuries and human beings were embroiled into systematic destructive hatred of "enemies" whom by his words and own perfect example Jesus had taught should be loved even to the extent of  accepting our own deaths rather than doing harm to one another.

"My kingdom is not of this world."

This declaration made before Pilate by Jesus in the last hours of his human life on Earth has never been fully honoured. There is not a "kingdom of this world", however, that has not thought that it is special in either its acceptance or denial of God. "God save our King", "In God we Trust", "Manifest Destiny" "Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite", "One People, One Nation One Leader", but what has proved to be even more problematic for "Souls on Earth" is that the Institutional Church founded on Peter has become as entangled in the "this worldliness" that it was Jesus' mission from which to free the souls of his "Chosen People" and thus begin the liberation of all mankind from the self-centeredness that is Original Sin.

 " I will be with you always even to the end of time".

There has never been a generation regardless of the wickedness manifest by Church or State which has not been blessed by individuals who have lived out their lives in accordance with the will of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. We do not need to know their names but no-one is anonymous in the sight of God. Jesus was always at the side of such as Edith Stein, today's Saint, as she was one of the millions terrorised and  unjustly killed because of their, not necessarily Jewish, DNA as he is ready to be with any of us who sincerely handover our lives to his love.

"Be it done to me according to Thy word."

If you read these words do not be offended or annoyed for the "Faith" that they so poorly express is the only legacy that you can receive that will not perish as has the body of this person who struggled throughout his life to become a Christian and has only recently realised that the Mystical Body of Christ can become a reality in the Church of Love, the Spiritual New Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and John and even though the Institutional Church disappoints is always ready to welcome those who seek to become righteous in this world as preparation for the next.

"Woman behold your Son. Son behold your Mother".
