Saturday Week 31 Ordinary Time

In the year 2025, in the 85th year of my life, I am trying to live, as instructed by St Paul in this morning's first mass reading, "according to the command of the eternal God" as revealed/recorded in the Old and New Testaments, the Christian Bible.

In his letter to the Romans, St Paul sent greetings to many individuals who were part of the first Church in Rome. He was always surrounded by friends and fellow workers wherever he was teaching .

In the reading taken from St Luke's Gospel, Jesus is preaching to the whole world and to all ages but at that specific moment he is surrounded by a crowd of the Jews, eternally chosen by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to receive the WORD first through direct revelation and finally to be the source of the human body and soul begotten as "True Man and True God" in the womb of Virgin Mary, Theotokos who is also the mother of his Mystical Body, Church of Love, the New Holy Family in which we all without exception, except by personal choice, can find salvation. 

Not only are Jews the same living flesh as Our Lord but also they are inextricably linked with his consummating sacrifice "it is finished". The worldly power of Rome drove in the nails and pierced his side but it was his own people, including all sinners whose refusal to live on earth, even now, according to his will who gave him up to the power of "The Strong Man" ruler of this world. 

The Love that creates us free beings has in his Resurrection  shown us that worldly life and death in our material world are not completed being, they are only the foundations that we have to use to prepare to be "welcomed into eternal dwellings" where we rejoice in true life and love at source.

St Paul and Jesus were both surrounded with friends. For the last few years, I have pretty much lived in partial solitude. I have wasted much of the time freed up by my absence from the local Church, but tried to pray and look for the Word of God both in the scriptures and in the writings of wise men and women of this present age and of long ago.

Each morning that I use this keyboard, I am, with sincerity, consciously trying to bear a permanent Christian witness to Our Father and his loving will for all of us and I know that even though nobody else may read these words, they are eternally present as my response to him, my prayer in the mind of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT where we are all known, loved and judged with justice and the mercy that passeth all understanding. Thanks be to God!!

Dear Lord, you know how I can always make excuses for my sins and how I don't really understand how serious they are. Help me to avoid sin "just for today" and let my own sins and those of the Holy Souls known and unknown to me always seek forgiveness  in the Prayers of Mary and all the Saints. Amen
