Friday week 25 Ordinary Time

I hope that I can truly pray today with my mind and heart open to the inspiration of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRT. Help me to be a soul obedient to do your will even if only for the brief spell of time that I can bear the awareness of Your Ever-greater Glory.

The Liturgical Scriptures for today cover thousands of years of human time through which millions of we humans have struggled to do your will and worship you. It seems to me that in the Old Testament your Chosen People  were aware of your real presence for you really did lead them into the Promised Land. You rewarded their obedience and punished their transgressions in this world in ways that could not be doubted that you were the direct cause. You, our Creator, continued to act in human time and directly showed your power in the material reality that is still this world.

WE Christians continue to pray "thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" but your Incarnation has poured out your Loving Mercy as unseen Grace to ensure that each one of us has to accept that spiritual gift  and  take personal responsibility for the care of our own souls. We are all fully formed human beings and it is only in personal holiness that we can bear witness to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and this holiness can only be received when prayed for directly to You the One Source.

Help me to pray that the sinfulness of this beautiful world can be overcome by each one of us returning to Our Father the Love that is beyond all understanding yet is the firm foundation of all being. In today's Gospel you made it quite clear to your Apostles that it is each one of us that has to respond in personal prayer to your call to us just as you did to the Father during your life on earth. 

On Calvary you completed our education teaching us that we cannot avoid physical pain as we seek the forgiveness that only comes from the Way, Truth and Life. Jesus is never false. "My kingdom is not of this world" is the warning that has not yet been heeded and thus there has never been a truly "Christian Generation" to ensure that Jesus' role to banish sin from the Universe is fulfilled in Real Time.

There has been far too much evil perpetrated in the world since "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church" for anyone to believe in the "Power of the keys" as a source of holiness and guarantee of salvation. Peter knew this as he asked "What of this man?". Death has always been the end of life in this world but we have all been created to become joyful and eternal witnesses to the wonder of divine power and love. 

Before the final pain of death Jesus looked at Mary and then at John and created the Mystical Church of Love that has never and can never be corrupted by the things of this world. It is held together by the True Man and True God, Mystical Body of Christ whose humanity followed the full course of human development from fertilised egg to viable infant in the body of the very Theotekos who still ponders in her heart the Greatness of God and continues to fight against the forces of evil that still seem to be victorious in this world which was 2000 years ago left in the care of "Peter" to await the second coming.

Jesus cannot lie. "I will be with you always even till the end of time".
