Wednesday Week 7 Eastertide

Each day that I begin to read and reflect on the Scriptures, I know that Our Father is not only already aware of what I am thinking but also he allows me the freedom of trying to find my own words to express what is troubling me.

In the Gospel for today, John has remembered in his own words  what is the essential meaning of Jesus' prayer.

I have read the words after they have been innumerable times processed in at least four other languages, by thousands of scholars but I still have the unique freedom to search for their meaning. Each one of us is free to search for the meaning that we all can recognise by our own experience.

The Scriptures are WORD, and also the identifying human words that are absolute in meaning in all the languages of mankind.

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is way beyond all human understanding. Many brains, intelligences have tried to break into the timeless impenetrability but only one man has been able to close his eyes to this world and immediately "know" the FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for only Jesus knows IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT as he is SON.

Jesus told us "My kingdom is not of this world". In his remembrances of the night before the crucifixion, John recalls the essence of Jesus' publicly uttered prayer of preparation of himself for the pain and terror he was to undergo for the sake of mankind. He tells us that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT reveals by his own INCARNATION into this world that our lives must not become entangled by the temporal "now" in which we have our being..

We really do have to fight against the truly soul-destroying wonders of  this world i.e. "empirical reality" for God created us to "know love and serve" through an ongoing Spiritual conflict. Today I know that "this world" is filled with sin and the enemies of God. 

I also know that Our Father is totally aware of the "State of Our World". He has already saved the world and the Holy Spirit is our helper. Each one of us can strive after righteousness not only for ourselves but also for our families and neighbours. We can ask to continue to live in the Love that created us for SON not only founded a Church on Peter he also ensured that Divine Love is ever-present in the New Holy Family he created with Mary and John.

Dear Lord help me to pray sincerely for the forgiveness of those who are today continuing in their blasphemy. You know that "outrage" is often a camouflage for my own guilt and help me to curb this tendency that is one of my many sins. Help me to fend off all the fierce wolves to whom I open the door, allowing them to attack my soul and let these prayers join those of Mary and all the saints that your Mercy overwhelm  our sins on Earth and release the Holy Souls from the pains of the punishment they now know that your Justice demands. Amen
