The Lord speaks openly through Nathan in today's First Reading. 

Solomon the son of David does eventually build the Temple to become the place in this world from which he will guide his "Chosen People".

There are millions of souls, Jew and Gentile, that have been created since that time but very few who have remained steadfast in the Holiness that is the only response to the gift of conscious life that is acceptable to God. But our God is merciful and ready to forgive all who turn back to Him.

In the Gospel, God Himself  is continuing his revelations to the "Chosen People" and has chosen 12 men with whom over a period of three years he shares the "SECRET" i.e. "INCARNATION".

He is the source of ETERNAL LIFE. IAMIAM. IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. IAM the Bread of Life. IAM the Light of the World. IAM the Door. IAM the Good Shepherd. IAM the Resurrection and the Life. IAM the Way, the Truth and the Life. IAM the True Vine.

Two thousand years later there is still nothing more than what is revealed in the Bible that we need to know about our "being" and "life" in this world. Human Life is the product of God's Love and the World is the Reality in which he has shown us how to live and die. 

Life is the opportunity to avail ourselves of the limitless Mercy created on Calvary by Our Saviour God.

Dear Lord, Help me to live this day without sin. Let my prayers join with  those of Mary, Joseph, John and all the Apostles and Saints and with all those that we sinners on earth plead for pardon both for ourselves and the departed Holy Souls. Amen
