Today I am again awake because I cannot sleep. 

Yesterday, after my morning prayer, I had felt some calming of my usual state of disquietude so I have returned to the keyboard in the hope that I can experience again the peace that comes when I am truly able to become the lost sheep that is found, the lamb held in the arms of the Lord.

Each day that I pray I know that although I am always the one "raising my mind and heart to God" for me to really "pray" I have to know that I am answering the call that is continuously the support of my being.

God is my creator and I have to never become engrossed in my own words or train of thought. I am the sheep and have to follow exactly where the "Good Shepherd" leads me.

I have not been gifted with a poet's tongue but I am always attracted by the music of the Old Testament. Today Isaiah sings ecstatically and thus glorifies the WORD. The words of the Psalmist too draws us into the very heart of his certainty of faith, again WORD, which we can thus share.

With Jesus "There is always something greater here" and so his plain narrative always means what it says for TRUTH has no need of human embellishments. He is present in Palestine living his human life and teaching his disciples and all subsequent generations, including me because "It is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish".

I don't think that there is anything enigmatic about this statement. We are all throughout our lifetimes called by IAMFATHERSONHOLYPSIRIT. How we proceed from that call is our choice but we are not alone.

Even though the Church founded on St Peter did not ever truly listen to "My kingdom is not of this world", the unseen Church of Love, the New Holy Family is the Natural Spiritual Reality that is still with us and will so be until the end of time.

Dear Lord, you know that I thank you for saving me from the depths of my sinful being but that at the moment I still only want to sleep. My body is a real mess and I truly ask that I will be able to soon lose the use of it. Help all of us who are now swamped with knowledge and the media awareness  that has become beyond all human understanding to the extent that it diverts the world away from the revelation that is the saving grace that comes only from you. Help me to empty my mind of the things of this world and let the prayers of Mary and all the saints bring the grace of your forgiveness to all of us, including The Holy Souls and me and mine. Maranatha, Lord. Come Lord Jesus come.
