Our Lord, Jesus of Nazareth, True God and true man, Son of God, Son of Mary, is seen this morning alive  and teaching in the synagogue of his home town which he then leaves to continue his mission throughout Galilee.

His friends and neighbours are amazed at his erudition when he preaches but at the same time affronted that such wisdom could come out of the mouth of one of their own whose family was also well-known to them, and that this wisdom could be also supported by "mighty works".

Jesus was not the first Prophet in Israel nor was he the first human being to be esteemed for "Wisdom" in the centuries that had passed before God's Revelation was finalised by the Resurrection. The basic idea condensed into " A Prophet is not without honour except in his own country" had become proverbial not only in the culture of the Middle East but wherever mankind had begun to think about our own being, our existence.

With Jesus there is always "something greater here". With God there is always "something greater than  that can be thought". For mankind there is nothing greater that can be learnt than the completed revelation made by the Resurrection that death is not the end of life. 

We share our spiritual being, our unseen life/soul, image and likeness, with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and can by aligning ourselves, "Thy will be done on earth " with the teachings, of the New Testament prepare ourselves to share the eternal JOY of being present in the Eternal Sinlessness that is Heaven.

For my own part, I pray never to separate myself from the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of Love, the New Holy Family always aware that the free gift of Salvation for All has had to be created in the same reality in which I am now living. "True God and true man" suffers real pain truly dies on Calvary in order that his final words create "The New Holy Family" our one place of safety in this world.

"Woman behold your son. Son behold your mother."
