Sunday 7th Week of Easter

In today's Gospel John reveals how Jesus prayed to prepare himself and his friends for the pain and torment of the very last Acceptable Sacrifice of a living being that would ever be made in this created universe.

All the reality in which we live explodes out of the "Glorious Love" that is the BEING, WILL and FREEDOM of  "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT".

Our Father who art in heaven knows that I am not capable of capturing the certainty that I have of his righteousness, in words.  And this matters not one iota to "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT", for "know" is not the same as "understand" and it is my pride that is prompting me to face up to impossibility of "knowing" more than St John reveals when he begins his Gospel.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.

When I pray I have always to first of all seek forgiveness, sinning is more than second nature to me. The True Man that is Jesus does not have this problem but raising his eyes he is one with God,

 Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

With these words, the author of life, the being that creates all that is not himself is preparing himself to accept true pain of death and the emptiness of non-being because he trusts the miniscule entity that I am to learn to pray both to and with him. He has the power to make me do this but LOVE never uses force.

 Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Lord help me to continue to reach out and respond to your Life on Earth as recorded in the scriptures. Help me to learn how to be true to what I can learn from Old and New testaments. Let my prayers join those of Mary and all the saints with whom I implore your mercy for all the my fellow sinners on Earth and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen.
