Week 32 in Ordinary Time

All of us begin to "know" either by accepting or denying that we cannot be exactly sure about what it is that makes us the unique person that is our consciously existent being. All individuals have always struggled when they dare to face the question "who am I?" and most of us abandon that struggle and just accept as enough what comes to us in the material reality of this world. 

The evidence that we have for the earliest communities of human beings is in the material remains that they have left behind; weapons, tools and primitive and yet amazing buildings and bits of their bodies. We do not know anything about what was being thought by the builders of Goktepe or Stonehenge as they struggled to build permanent structures out of the corruptible materials of this world.

God has revealed first through Moses and concluded through St. John that he has added to his created evolutionary process by the creation of souls in his image and likeness for Adam and Eve and has continued in his compassionate care for mankind even though we have consistently refused to return his love.

There is nothing material about our God who throughout the records of time passing recorded by his Chosen People reveals more and more about his spiritual being. IAMIAM becomes ultimately IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. 

We, however, are also evolutionarily developed animal bodies which are corruptible flesh deified by the Eternal Incarnate Word and self-aware in the individual freedom, the being of our unique soul, created for each of us by Our Father at the moment of our conception, with which we know ourselves and all  others, first of all God, within the limits of our consciousnesses.

The readings from the "Wisdom Literature" are roughly contemporaneous with Greek Philosophy which is always rational though unguided humanity facing the reality of being. 

The Truth that comes from God, however, is also Love, Mercy, anything including Life itself that is Good and  can only be found in The Word that is the Scriptures, the Church, Body of Christ, New Holy Family and souls who choose to accept the infinite grace created by Calvary to do God's will on earth.

It is certainly not to be found in any of the Human Institutions developed by the followers of Mammon who began incredibly shortly after the Resurrection completed God's Revelation, to impose their human wills  and  seem to have taken complete control in total opposition to  God of our world during the last fifty years of my lifetime.

To you then O monarchs are my words directed

that you may learn Wisdom and not transgress.

For they will be made holy, those who observe holy things in holiness,

And those who have been taught them will find a defence.

Therefore set your mind on my words, 

long for them and you will be instructed.

Although this Psalm is directed at the high and mighty of this world it equally applies to all of us; it is to be holy that we have all been created. Only Jesus and Mary share  the sinless flesh of perfect humanity. We do not know what awaits us after the Return when God will be all in all. 

Today, we have to turn our lives into the prayerful recognition of Our Father that never ceases to trust in the saving passion, death and Resurrection that was THE real-time event two thousand years ago in Palestine as recorded in the Scriptures. IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has shown us his complete purpose and told us the meaning of our lives. Our freedom determines how we respond.
