Our Lady of Sorrows
God knows that, although I have not recorded my prayers and meditations recently, I have still tried to focus my being on doing His will in this world as I grow towards the completion of my life and departure from it.
I am sure that the Incarnation was God's response to the sinfulness with which the "Chosen People" had failed to accept the revelations made through the Prophets of the Old Testament. Jesus' Beatitudes are a re-focusing statement of the Ten Commandments. His acceptance of his completely human, life death and burial is the unique example in human time, an historical event, to be followed to fulfill God's will for each one of us during our own lifetimes.
Jesus proclaimed and proved by his personal sacrifice that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is loving and merciful. "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". He condemned only those who deliberately refused to accept his teaching and Godhead "Woe to you Chorazin etc". The only individuals condemned by personal sin, however, are the "Whited Sepulchres".
I have thus had to ask myself repeatedly over my lifetime whether I have ever really been truly sincerly committed to the Faith into which, by the Providence of God I was born but only recently, during the last 15 years or so, have I become as doubtful about the history and the present-day truth of the Church itself, founded on St Peter, as I am today.
In "human time", two thousand years ago, the Priestly Scribes and Pharisees condemned by Jesus, those who conspired with the pagan Romans believed that they were being faithful to IAMIAM, as still do their descendant Rabbis. God, however, cannot be deceived and chose conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary and human life and death for himself, to become Incarnate Resurrection as the only way for the sin introduced by Adam & Eve to be eliminated from creation.
Jesus has promised in the New Testament that he will be with us even to the "end of time". It is thus difficult to cast doubts onto the authenticity of Institutional Christianity but the Gospel reading for today's feast celebrating the Seven Sorrows of his mother, reminds us that during his preceding trial the now crucified, dying Son of God had declared unequivocally to his Roman judge, "My kingdom is not of this world, if it were my followers would fight".
We can still be certain in our Faith in our loving Saviour because the Institutional Church of the "Pornocracy, Triple Tiara, and perennial clerical sexual abuse" has always been counterweighted by the Mystical Church of Love, the New Holy Family instituted directly from the Cross "Woman behold your Son. Then he turned to the disciple. Behold your mother".
This is the never-ending purely, spiritual "Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting" in which I believe and thank God that I can know that he is always with me. Amen
Dear Lord, help me to become completely honest and learn how to return Your Love beyond the best of my ability. May I never be closed to the Grace with which you respond to the prayers of Mary and all the angels and saints. Forgive me my sins and help me share the light of faith with my family and anybody who may come to read this before or after my death. Amen.
