I have been alive for more than 80 years and know that I still have to fight all the wonders of this world, the environment and culture into which I was born, if I am to live as Jesus taught us by his words and deeds.

Mankind has so wonderfully made use of physical matter that I am able to use this machine to, as it were, turn back time and observe real people still living via "Persian Nomad YouTube" today the same sorts of life as were the peasants of Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes in first reading.

Even without electricity, I can open books, and read how the first generation of Christians adapted their understandings to accept the the "Good News" that "IAMIAM" had revealed himself to be "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" and had in his incarnate life taught that we all have to prepare ourselves for Death and Resurrection which he shared as True Man with us.

Most of us who are living today are cushioned in a "cloud cuckoo land" of materialism and we refuse to even consider that the revelations of the Bible have life-giving significance. 

Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, the Jews although guided through the prophets could not escape the then primitive joys of materialism and even though, thousands of martyrs followed Jesus to public execution, the Church he founded on Peter soon became entangled in the same Materialism that still keeps so many of us from becoming "My mother, my brothers, my sisters, those who hear the word of God and do it", the New Holy Family of God confirmed by Jesus' words from the cross to Mary and John.
