Tuesday Week 28 Ordinary Time

How could it ever be possible that Paul would ever be "ashamed" of the "Gospel" revealed to the world by the Incarnation, Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary?

I have throughout my lifetime sometimes felt embarrassed by the outward signs of my religion and  recently been truly ashamed by the manifest failings of the "Institutional Church", but the only shame that I can associate with the Word of God comes about from my personal failure to live unwaveringly the Way, the Truth and the Life revealed for all peoples and all times in the Holy Land engraced in time and place by the presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT two thousand years ago.

Paul, however, was a Pharisee who could have known or been known to those condemned by Jesus in this morning's Gospel reading. He had been personally called directly by the Resurrection and knew that "everything within him had been cleansed" for he had let go of all that  had not come from God which defined him as "Paul"  and he thus became an example of how to live a life of faith by clinging onto the Resurrection throughout his life and preaching this up to the very moment of his death.

I know that there is nothing about me that is not known to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and pray that I too may be an acceptable offering, a libation, as was Paul, for I am a sinner who can be cleansed only by Mercy to finally become at home within the New Holy Family, preached by Paul as the "Body of Christ", the Church of Love that will stand until the end of time.
