Thursday     The Ascension of the Risen Lord

St Luke begins his personal testimony "Acts of the Apostles" with what is the completion of his Gospel. He did not witness the Ascension himself but accepted the accounts of the eye-witnesses. 

Two thousand years later, I am in silence waiting for the words with which to declare my belief and awareness that the events recorded in the New Testament are fundamental to my becoming by acceptance of what IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT intends for all human beings.

I have learned that God is a Trinity of persons and a oneness of being. I display this belief as the "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" for the word "Trinity" is more of an intellectual concept than the persons, although vast beyond all conception, have by the birth, life and death of  Incarnate Son, revealed  to us how we should live our lives on earth.

I know that I am a sinner and that "this world" has also never lived up to the revelation of how to achieve the holiness that comes of obeying the rules for living revealed first to the Jews and then completed by the reset of Salvation made by the Incarnation.

Today, even in the presence of the Resurrection, some of the Apostles are still expecting  the "Kingdom of Israel" to be re-established. The manifest historical failures of Christianity, the institutional churches of Asia, Africa and Europe have all come about because we have not taken "My kingdom is not of this world" at its face-value" and thus misinterpreted "all authority on heaven and earth" to include Political Power.

The click of a mouse reveals the nonsense that this is in all the kingdoms of this world but especially in the Middle-East where the slaughter of human beings has become second nature to all participants and the familial human unity of 

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

is completely ignored.

Dear Lord, help me to keep my heart and mind raised in prayer and ever conscious that you are with us always and that the Church of Love, your New Holy Family is your guaranteed presence until the end of time. Amen. Maranatha, Come Lord, Jesus come.
