Saturday Week 3 Advent

King Ahaz' "I will not put the Lord my God to the test" sounds as if it is a faith-filled confirmation that has accepted whatever we experience in life without questioning for if it happens it must be the will of the "IAMIAM" who is all-controlling and has thus today become the "IAMALLAH" of the false prophets Jesus warned us about.

Jesus is not a response to the prayers of the Chosen People. He is not "sign". He is the freely given Eternal Merciful Response of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to the spurning of his LOVE that began in the Garden, incarnated from the womb of the Virgin Mary in Nazareth in real-time about eighty generations ago.

Adam and Eve, humanity, are not GOD but they and we share an image and likeness of God's unbounded freedom that can choose how to act during the experience of life in the material reality which is not only time but should also be awareness of  revealed Eternal Reality.

Humanity, even when chosen (Jews) and fully informed (Christians) has never been faithful and we have always become deluded and overcome by the wonders of our bodily beauty, intelligence, Divine Image and Likeness and brought evil into the World by choosing to be guided in the ways of life by ourselves and not by the WORD who has always been with us and can be known by each one of us when we sincerely open our beings with the unequivocal "Be it done to me according to thy word" of the "Teenager" of Nazareth who at that moment becomes both "Theotokos" and Mother of the Church of Love, the New Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and John.

Dear Lord, how can it be that, after so many generations of humanity and the perfect sacrifice of Calvary we are still as lost in the "wonder of our own being", as were Adam and Eve? Help me to become the being I was created to be by joining my prayers with those of the whole world as we seek your mercy in forgiveness of our sins and those of the Holy Souls. Amen
