I have to face up to my own weaknesses this morning. For some days, I have missed recording my morning reflections on the daily Mass Readings that have become the "personal signs" by which I choose to reveal what is always present even though clouded over in my heart and soul.

In the first reading Peter and the other ten Apostles are praying in the temple with a favourable congregation who are inspired to both listen to and seek guidance from these Proclaimers of the Resurrection. 

God knows that I too sometimes cooperate faithfully with HIS WORD but at others I am entirely taken up by the things of this world and allow my being to lose touch with Our Father whom I know to be "The Good Shepherd" and who is, indeed, much greater than that image of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT'S tender love for us his aimlessly wandering sheep.

In fact all of us are totally hopeless without our Shepherd for we are all in much more danger than we would be if we were simply "aimlessly" wandering. 

Even though Jesus by his life death and resurrection has created for us access to the Free Gift from IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT that enables us to live righteously in this world and created a spiritual home, the Church of Love, the New Holy Family many of us however, often choose to follow the ways to self glorification created by generations of mankind and thus filled "this world" with the false Glory that is the work of Mammon and is as corruptible as our own flesh. 

We must never lose sight of the reset of Creation that God enabled 2000 years ago in Palestine, Incarnation who is Christ the Lord, son of God and Son of Mary who is eternally

 The bread of Life.

 The light of the World

The gate of the sheepfold

The good shepherd.

The resurrection and the life

The way, the truth and the life.

The true vine
