Sometimes when I have concluded my meditations I feel thrilled by my own thoughts which I did not know that I had until I saw them in black and white on this screen. At other times, I struggle and as I write recognise within myself  an adversary who is mocking and pointing out that no matter how much I try I am still very far from the holiness that I claim to seek.

Today before opening Universalis to read the mass-readings I looked at the current news about the war.

It is impossible for me to ignore that the same battles that were fought by the Jews in the Old Testament are still being fought, as they have been throughout my own lifetime, three thousand years later by the original "People of God".

One of the "Thoughts" of Pascal considered the continuing existence of the Jews as a race apart from the rest of mankind as a proof for the existence of God.

God knows that when I watched the news this morning, I saw the epitome of greed and stiff-necked arrogance displayed by two Jewish faces and knew that I had to counter the distaste that I felt for I am  Christian and know that the incarnate Son of God himself has that same physical characteristics.

Mary's Son, our Saviour was begotten by the Holy Spirit in the sinless womb of Theotokos, the Immaculate Conception to become the concluding event of God's revelation. The Chief Priests refuse to listen to Living Word and inveigle the Romans to execute the Son of God. By all accounts, a similar sort of behaviour is being repeated today in my own Generation.

The Jewish race was the first to receive the Blessing. Jesus atoned for their continuing refusal to live according to the Word and arose to reset IAMFATHERSON'S relationship with the whole world. At his trial Our Lord made it clear that it is not for the sake of the kingdoms, empires, democracies, national homes or anything political that he is becoming the Final Sacrifice. 

We have been shown the Way, Truth and Life and each individual being, Image and Likeness, is free to learn how to do the will of Our Father by knowing, loving and serving for we all are much more than our physical bodies. It is within our souls that we are all free to accept and return the love that he creates in his Church of Love, New Holy Family.
