At the end of his life on Earth, Jesus, the Incarnation, the completed Way, Truth and Life makes it clear that this world, the created Universe, is not the "Kingdom" the revelation of which he will complete in his Resurrection.

In our awareness of "being" we are all challenged to explain to ourselves why it is that what we know as life will come to an end. We are, however, not innumerable "consciousnesses" abandoned in the vastness of the visible universe to find out for ourselves "the meaning of life". We are all the personal creations of Infinite Love that subjected himself to all the possible pain that Original Sin brought into the Garden to bring us to Salvation, his Kingdom.

The Holy Bible is the unique text that records the response of the People of God to WORD who completes the revelation of all that we need to become part of the "Kingdom" during his last week on Earth.

For the last 2000 years there are many of us who have been unwilling to accept the Risen Lord as the unwitnessed Resurrection Event. In fact, as the Institutions that developed from "thou art Peter" seemed to become successful in the mission to which Jesus calls Simon, Andrew James and John in this morning's Gospel their success in this world began to smother the reset of creation. that is the Church, Body of Christ. the Resurrection.

The Papal Tiara and Byzantine Diadem could never be compatible with "My kingdom is not of this world" but Jesus has promised to be with his Church until "the end of time" and we can be sure that the Church of His Love, the New Holy Family, Jesus Mary and John is where WORD is forever present.

 "Heaven and Earth may pass away but my WORD will stand."
