I have always been aware, even as a child, that I was capable of sin, but I have largely lived my life as if covering up for it were the sole aim of my existence.
I am coming to realise that I am not alone in this and that "My kingdom is not of this world" precisely because life lived solely in "this world" is a lie and that the billions of "iams" who deny the revelations of the meaning of life contained in the Bible are also as stupid as those Political leaders who deny the visual evidence that Renee Nicole Good was murdered yesterday by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
Today St John writes about Love because he knows that his friend, the son of his adoptive mother, concluded his life by death on a cross because the Resurrection of Love only happens when Eternal Being negates himself to become the Saving Victim that "takes away the sins of the world" and does this once but for all of us.
Jesus pours out his blood hanging on the wood of the cross in his created reality precisely because we create sin in this world, the domain of devil and the flesh, that can only be defeated by each living soul accepting his rule to Love our neighbour as our selves by non-retaliation and acceptance that we are forgiven in proportion to our own forgiveness of the sins we observe in and experience from others.
In our lifetimes we can always make "excuses in sin" but in IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT the reality is LOVE so it is no exaggeration for me to condemn my childish sins with the same fervour that condemns the sin that was the contemporaneously perpetrated Jewish Holocaust.
Dear Lord, I know that as today unfolds each moment will reveal the creation of even more sins. This screen will reveal more of the wickedness of the rich and powerful that will be trumpeted around the world. The human spirit will be celebrated in stories of individual attainments and I will be stirred to sorrow or to anger by what I read, see and hear. Help me to remember that I am only responsible for my own being and that you totally rejected the things of this world and bore witness to this rejection in the abject, naked humility of death on a cross, before filling creation with the unseen Glory of your Resurrection which has brought back LOVE into our reach. Your own acceptance of unspeakable death at the hands of men confirms that "Turn the other cheek" is much more than a pious platitude but is indeed a target and also, although seemingly out of our reach, a guide to becoming the human image and likeness you created us to be. May my prayers become one with the prayers of all your saints and together with those of Mary bring your LOVE to bear on the beings of all who are your enemies on Earth and to strengthen the resolve of those who try to do your will and help me to become one of them. Amen
