Alone but Known

It is good for me to know that I am always "alone".

We are, all of us, unique beings who live out our lives by either accepting everything we encounter as we "grow-up" as an unchangeable reality in which we are powerless or by questioning everything face to face as the reality of my self in the reality of the whole world. 

 ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’

 My mouse, as always, reveals at a click a "world", a "passing reality" far greater than that known by the actors in the drama, recorded by St Luke, being played out in the Temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

I have to say, however, that even though billions of us are still living and many millions have died, though great changes have happened, and huge numbers have proclaimed the Gospel by their lives and words the World is still incompatible with the "reset of creation" completed in this world by the INCARNATION.

It is better for me to know that I am always "known".

We are all of us unique beings who are known and loved not because of anything wonderful or even praiseworthy about ourselves but because IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT freely allowed His JOY OF BEING to create a Universe in which another created but free being, ourselves, could know love and serve by giving back of our own free will the Love that bursts out from Him.

The fundamental lesson to mankind that was Liturgically completed on Good Friday has never been learned . 

"My kingdom is not of this world."

Jesus did not die to bring Christian Kingdoms and Empires into being. The Church fails because men entangled her as and in temporal human institutions. Jesus did die to save each one of us from the effects of the sins committed by each one of the unique beings that he knows, loves and forgives.

It is best for me to find my place in his Church of Love and know that I too am included in his dying words from the cross on Calvary and thus be no longer "alone" for I too am in the New Holy Family.

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