Sunday Week 33 in Ordinary Time

In today's reading from St Luke's Gospel we listen to  ETERNALWORD, TRUEMANTRUEGOD, during the brief spell of ever-escaping time he used to enable all individual humans to lovingly accept and conform our own freedom to all that is revealed in Scripture. 

Five hundred years before then, Malachi had felt trapped in a world dominated by the "arrogant and evildoers" but he "took this as his opportunity" and CHRISTETERNALWORD gave him the "mouth and wisdom" that still cannot be contradicted twenty-five hundred years later.

St Paul who is in person "the Jews" the first target, focus of the blinding WORDLIGHT, has to face the practicalities of how to become the Resurrection Church  founded on St Peter in the real world amidst the informed yet blinkered hostility of his own people and the confusing intelligent ignorance of the Hellenes and other gentiles.

St Paul knows that our sole legitimate aim in life is to become Holy in body and soul, to provide a fitting welcome in our unseen beings for the Resurrection, WORD who is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. 

He knows that "My kingdom is not of this world" but that Jesus too had worked with his human body, for the Incarnation is not just a concept but a truly debased human animal bleeding to death in unimaginable agony in the real-time event of Calvary.

We all live lives of different experiences in this world. We are all pressured by the providence that we meet from the moment of our births. Today Jesus seem to be speaking about temporal events both to his own  and all future generations but the "do not be terrified" comes from the Father directly to each one of us who heard, hears or will ever hear these words.

We all know that the appearance of material reality can be controlled by technology. Our screens can hold and reproduce events of the present and the past. Our bodily senses can and are deceived on a daily basis by man-made machines and we can experience all human pleasures, pains and fears that are totally illusory as if they were real.

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT today warns us "to not go astray". He tells us to live in the reality that only he reveals for as the Psalmist knew, "he will come to judge the peoples in fairness". The wealth and beauty of the Temple has departed just as easily as do the images on our screens but we can still welcome the WORD for as he died on the cross, Jesus created for us his Church of Love, the New Holy Family, Our Spiritual Home until the end of time.

"Woman behold your son, Son behold your mother."
