Monday Lent Week 4.

As I am sitting here in front of this screen waiting for the words with which I will lift my mind and heart to God in these times, I know that Our Father knows that I, a sinner, am sincerely hoping to respond to not only the words of Scripture, but also to the unseen presence of His Love.

At this same moment I am also aware that he also knows all the other millions of sinners who are also souls alive at this moment and whom he knows with His perfect Love that must also be tinged with the sorrow that our failures reveal to Him. There is no way for me to think about IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for I am enclosed within "time" which does not exist for him. That is why there are so many "alsos" when we try to "know" God.

This morning Jesus is ever so slightly annoyed "unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe". The official, who is so worried about his child that the rebuke does not register with him, urgently repeats his request "Sir come down before my child dies".

Our world at this moment is full of millions of parents who are desperately seeking the same relief from pain and suffering. Millions of us are responding to the needs of our bodies to the extent of sinfully disobeying the commandments of our God. Some have made Mammon their God and feel absolutely justified in anything they do to increase or protect their wealth

The hills and valleys where the Incarnation lived out his human life are again being devasted by the human pride that chooses to do what it wishes rather than to obey the revelations that were sealed by Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. 

That hill is again witnessing humanity's self-destruction, the result of the sinful conflicts that always occur as the snowball effect of the evil we create by failing, even in the smallest way, to do "thy will on Earth as it is in Heaven" grows into that monstrously humanly created evil we cannot ignore, War.

The world is, at this moment (GMT 08:59 16/03/2026), is filled with the arrogance of self deceit. The spiritual image and likeness with which we all have been blessed has been concealed by our own avaricious arrogance and even now as many of us search within ourselves to find again Our Father, for we cannot continue to avoid the inner-voice of conscience, we find only the self-image that we most admire which still refuses to beat its breast, saying “God, be merciful to me, a sinner".

IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has given us the world in which to live in holiness by doing his will. Once the Institutional Church founded on St Peter became entangled in the things of this world, wealth and political power, she began the failure that increasingly revealed itself in worldly power struggles and faithless clergy.

Jesus, however, promised to be with us until the "end of time" which he would personally declare to us when he returned. I know that I cannot be the only person alive who remembers "Maranatha" and sincerely join my prayers with theirs in the security that the Church of Love, the New Holy Family provides when we remember the words uttered by the Lord as his Precious Blood drained from his Body in His Agony that was far greater even than that  we are now perpetrating on each other in his Homeland.

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