Monday Week 9 Ordinary Time

Not all of the Temple-affiliated Scribes, Pharisees and Priests chose to oppose the charismatic preaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Of those who did some were sincerely committed to the "Law" against which in their opinion Jesus was a blasphemer.

"Forgive them for they know not what they do".

I cannot believe that anyone who, "in those days" truly listened to "The Word of the Lord" and witnessed his Miracles would have had the "brass neck" to condemn him. Maybe I am truly "begging the question", a metaphor that is often misused, but the Temple Authorities had accumulated too much prestige and authority in this world to listen to any alternative view of their opinions about how to live in accordance with the will of the only Supreme Spiritual Power as it was revealed throughout and by the life of Moses.

"Forgive them for they know not what they do".

For the last two thousand years Rabbinical Jews have determinedly maintained the opinions of Scribes, Pharisees and Priests about Jesus and treating the "Goyim" with contempt claiming the Resurrection to be a not so elaborate hoax and they have  since  turned themselves into the nonsense of  a largely atheist "Chosen People" who claim  a God-given right to obtain by force land and other property belonging to others.

"Forgive them even though they do know what they are doing"

I begin each day in the Palestine of 2000 years because that is the source of all that is True in this world. Jesus promised to be with us until the end of time which could mean that all that we know will come to an objective end, "finito" but certainly means that each one of us will die and enter into the permanent "now" of infinity. But before that final moment there is no need for anyone to be alone in this world. Our Father loves us. 

Each day I try to raise my mind and heart to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT praying for grace to avoid sin so that I can enter into the New Holy Family, the Church of Love which is the heart of Jesus beating in the centre of any community which strives to avoid the things of this world in order to help each other enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
