The parish into which I was born was named Corpus Christi. My Christian life thus began centered on the Body of Christ. It was on this Feast Day some 80 years ago that I first accepted that the masses which I had attended with my mum and dad, and at which I was to serve for many years after this my first communion were the most important events of mine and any other body's human life.

It is some years since I have received the Sacrament or even attended the liturgy which even in my sinfulness I truly loved.

The Lord knows that I am truly open to receive his grace that we all need to do his will on Earth. It is each individual human being that responds to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. Some of us are gifted to do so with flights of creative beauty that are pure joy and delight in the knowing of God. We can all thank God for the scriptures and for the works of man that touch our hearts as today's sequence which is Faith, Truth and Beauty conceived in a human soul that adds love and service to his knowledge of "Our Father".

I have in recent times loved to try to understand the Theology preached by Balthasar and his friend Ratzinger but completely flummoxed as to how their Church has become less and less relevant over the centuries even though many other holy priests have also explained and expounded on their understanding of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

The Institutional Church founded on St Peter has repeated the failings of the Chosen People and has never lived up to its own or the teaching of its founder. Just as humanity in the mystery that is revealed in the depths of Genesis could not begin to follow IAMIAM until Moses accepted his mission so even Jesus' declaration "My Kingdom is not of this World" has never been followed in its univocity.

It is a fact of history that the Incarnation happened at the time it did and that it was necessary at that time for the salvation of the world. 

Jesus promised that although he returned to the Father he would never leave us alone in this world. At innumerable times during the  80 generations of human beings that have dominated their times in this life since then we have to look back and ask how it could be possible for the Church to amass treasure in this world, expand its territory, kill its enemies and ever be able to fulfill its mission to be the Holy Guardian of the Sacramental Body and Blood which is the reason for today's liturgical celebration.

Dear Lord, forgive us for the violence of the Crusades that were instigated by Popes and other Bishops even at the same time as St Thomas glorified You in the holiness of his life's work, for the Second World War and those other wars that the dedication of holy Churchmen was unable to avert. And for what is happening now at this moment as a result of the alliance of unholiness of your once "Chosen Ones" with " Me me Me I'm Mammon and Good TV" in a world that can still become what you intend it to become for we can all still choose to be "The New Holy Family", live in unity with Mary and all Your Saints and thus complete our lives in holiness. We can all still accept your call to holiness, Thanks be to God! Amen.

St Paul continues to "boast" by opening the very depths of his being to the scrutiny of those with whom he has been entrusted to share the fruits of his conversion. 

He has accepted the gifts of the Holy Spirit and knows that it is these gifts that he must share. He is experiencing a new reality. Christ lives in him and can also be shared by each one of us for IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT never diminishes no matter how many of us accept his free gift of himself.

St Paul is now the person he was created to become; he is a Christian, a human being living in this material universe, who knows that the things of this world are mere distractions that we have to ignore in order to concentrate on becoming the "losers" much despised by the rich and powerful of this world who ignore the words of the Lord's Prayer and fervently seek out temptation that they may bring even more evil into the world.

I too can boast with St Paul for we have all been given the same opportunity to be saved by the Incarnation's completed revelation. I too can strive to become "a loser" by rejecting materialism and pray constantly in the way that Jesus taught us.

In this morning's Gospel Jesus' words make it quite clear that our total adherence to the words of our Rabbi is not easy. Most of the time allotted to me  has been completely tied up in the things of this world. 

If I am to become truly a "Christian Loser" I have also to avoid despising as "Evil Bastards" all the Enemies of God who are the "The Rich and the powerful, the Good and the Great, the Learned and the Clever, the Scum of the Earth" for even those who today are ordering hundreds of us to kill and to be killed are "Our neighbour" whom we always have to "love" as much as we do ourselves .

All generations of mankind are created by the unperceivable, although revealed to us, inconceivable although proven to us, inestimable although living and dying for us "Other" from whom we can never hide, as Cain tried to do, for his Light penetrates into the deepest darkness we can create for ourselves.

St Paul is a very loveable man. He is certainly recognisable as non other than human. His  powerful personality  knows that "His saviour liveth" and that he has to fill his time on earth completing with joy the Mission that the Light of the Resurrection left him blinded but in no doubt about at his personal epiphany. His testimony is part of the "words of eternal life" recognised by St Peter, another recognisable "human being" who is part of that special human generation when "Jesus walked".

The  Revelation completed 2000 years ago by the "Jesus Generation" is the only "way, truth and life" for each individual person to live the life of holiness in this world for which we have been created. 

Jesus who was also truly as human as Peter and Paul was loved with a personal love by his family and friends during his lifetime but has become much more remote to us who have for 2000 years known him with more awe as "True God" crucified for us, the Saviour of mankind.

There have never been enough "holy ones" in this world for there to have ever been a  historical "Holy Generation" subsequent to the unique, unrepeatable, time of the Incarnation. Even the Church founded on St Peter soon lost its struggle against the joy of materialism and contrary to the direct words of Jesus laid up for itself the treasures that keep her to this day tied to the kingdom of this world.

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, however, has never deserted us and although largely anonymous the New Holy Family has continued to be cherished by the Holy Spirit so that even when at my most sinful there has always been a life-line of grace for me and all other sinners to grasp and lovingly believe with  holy gratitude that "I will be with you until the end of time."

The only true response that we can make to "Our Father" is to choose to live in Holiness and thus blind ourselves to all that promotes our being to the detriment of God.

Looking at our world leaders today, June 20 2025, I have to say that all, yes ALL, leaders of men are in truth and ever have been, enemies of God for no-one who does the will of God seeks more for himself than to personally know love and serve by becoming perfect even as our Heavenly Father is perfect.

God became incarnate with us in this world as without his mercy there could be no-one of us who is saved.

Dear Lord help me to avoid adding to the ingratitude that began with the Jews' refusal to live according to your revealed will for this creation and which, even though we have seen your Crucifixion and Resurrection, has been maintained consistently for 60 Generations on this Earth. Our fixation on our selves, our pride in our being has been witnessed by all the physical violence of History and evil hatred of Good which overcomes our will to bear witness to you the only Good, the one source of perfect leadership that can bring us to the safety of the eternal happiness that you have prepared for us . May this my prayer be heard and may all this generation become as St. Paul a convert living solely in the Light that penetrates all darkness and return love for Love as all who have ever lived on Earth should do.

I experience not a few "odd moments", moments when something maybe trivial and usually inexplicable draws my attention, as I try to respond to the daily mass readings and thus become part of the generation that knew Jesus as "true man" and "true God". 

St Paul proclaims the resurrection but feels "a bit daft about it" as he is worried that he has not done a good enough job to ensure that the "Truth that comes from God" will stand up to the opposition that it is already facing.

He cannot understand how it is that the Corinthians do not have the  love for God and accept his preaching in the same way that he does. He asks them to have patience for he may lack eloquence but his knowledge is faultless. 

He can attribute his embarrassing personal nit-picking to his wish to be seen to be doing everything for the Lord and knows that his scruples about "not charging" for the "Word of God" are just that, a scruple which becomes for me an "odd moment of incomplete understanding" as I try to follow the totally honest examination of his own conscience that accompanies St. Paul's preaching.

For centuries "The Lord's Prayer" has been a tangible part of the cultural/religious fabric of Western Civilization. It  has come automatically into the minds of individuals at moments of stress and fear and been part of all public liturgies. Anybody reading these words knows that that may have been true at some times in the past but it is certainly not true today.

Jesus knows that we can never come close to "understanding" the infinity of the Supreme Being but we all have to recognise that he reaches out to each of us as does a human father to his children. We cannot understand but we can all trust and respond to him as children and the first part of "raising our hearts minds to God " is always to acknowledge him as "FATHER" of IAMFATHERSONHOLYPIRIT.

Today, as always, I am striving for sincerity and holiness but even as Jesus teaches us how to pray I am distracted by an "Odd moment". How would the first disciples have known how "Pagans babbled"? I have no idea what went on in Pagan "prayer".

Dear Lord, you know that throughout each day I try to never forget that you are with me always and that I can become truly holy as you are holy by obeying you by my personal choice in this material universe just as do the intangible beings that are in your created world of the spirit. Help us to feed all our brothers and sisters with both food for the body and for our souls and let us learn that we are only forgiven when we truly forgive those who try to harm us. Help us to know and avoid anything that causes us to add to the deeds of your enemies who bring even more evil into your creation and let my sins, those of the whole world and the Holy Souls, continue to be forgiven by your inexhaustible mercy. Amen.

Our Lord's mission was to return the backsliding "People of God", the Jews of Palestine to the human righteousness that God had intended for all of us but which had been rejected by Adam and Eve.

Palestine was and still is the only "Holy Land". It was there that God's revelation to mankind began and was completed. It is the setting for God's direct intervention in time and space. It was and still is a place where mankind's sinful struggle against God became and is still, manifest.

In many places throughout our World, not only in the Middle East, as it became unencumbered by the need to devote itself to supporting its body  Human Liberty, "image and likeness" was able to react and join with others to share in the difficulties of being alive. We know the results of this process as "Civilizations".

The Jews were the first to hear "IAMIAM", consciously receive the Love manifest in the Commandments and thus become the "People of God" by striving to conform to his will.

There have always been many who have not been engraced but by the liberty of human thought have been able to delight in humanity's ability to understand and create. It is this Joy in Humanity explicitly Hellenism that had corrupted the Holiness of the Jews to the extent that the Incarnate Son had to live the perfect human life and become for us by life, death and Resurrection "the Way, the Truth and the Life"  leading to the eternal joy of  IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Help me Lord to be sincere in my "inner room" and let there be no pride in these my mornings' tasks with which I seek to contemplate your will as displayed in my own and former times. May my prayers become one with those of Mary and all the saints that we on Earth become the modern day disciples living just as did she and the Apostles in the "real-presence" of Jesus. Help us all to become part of the New Holy Family, The never changing "Jesus Generation".

Today, St Paul is addressing the practicalities of being the "People of God" in this world. He is encouraging the Corinthian Church by extolling the virtues of the Macedonians shown in their response to the problems being faced in Jerusalem which in the course of the first Century are only going to get worse.

Jesus had reprimanded the hypocritical "virtue-signalling" of Judas when he complained that Mary's use of costly unguent to wash the  feet of her Lord had been a waste of resources with the unforgettable "The poor are always with you". 

I know that not one of us has been born into this era of time by personal choice neither has IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT selected us to be "the poor or the rich" of this world. The Physical Universe is limited by the "code inputted at the moment of creation" and the "sun" and "rain" are not directed by God in favour of any of us either evil or good, just or unjust.  We have also been instructed not to believe in the economic laws of Mammon that create the " Kingdom of this World" that is centred on wealth but ultimately valueless.

We, however, have been created to obey the will of Our Father and no matter the time or circumstances of our birth have to say "Yes" to the grace that enables us to become "sons of the Father" always aware that the Incarnate Life of Son of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is lived for each of us that we too may learn to put the lives and needs of others always before our own.

We have to aim for the absolute for Jesus tells us that we can achieve it when we direct our Freedom towards knowing loving and serving as did he.

You, therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The sole purpose of my life has to be conformity with the revelation completed by Jesus and preached by the Apostles.

This world has never witnessed an event more meaningful and awe-inspiring than the one and for all time reality of the Incarnation, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is "true man". He has used his limitless freedom to beget himself, the eternal Son, body and blood, as are we, in the womb of sinless Mary to thus truly develop as human and grow as the perfection of creation, a New Adam.

We can stop asking "why?" when we know this. God never lies. He wants us all to choose to become "image and likeness" and to know that we can escape from all sin into the freedom of the "Sons of God" because he is our Saviour and has lived the same reality, except for sin, as we do solely "pro nobis", for us. Human sin is so abhorrent and great a counteraction to loving creation, that it can only be eradicated by shedding the lifeblood of God made Man.

I understand that the drama of St Paul's conversion was too much for many in the infant Church, too much to be accepted. People are always strange. Their new faith was based on bearing witness to the earth-shattering Resurrection and yet they could be loth to believe its power to make new converts.

Nevertheless God's gifts to the "Little disciple", "the runt of the litter" were so great that as I read his words written to the Corinthians 2000 years ago I had to slow down and give thanks for the men and women who were able to build up the deeds of Faith that convince me that theirs is the Generation part of which we should all strive  to become.

There have been great movements in the History of St Peter's Church since the days of the Fathers but it is my believe that the Hierarchical Institution that is the crumbling reality of today has never truly lived up to its Mission. There has always been a problem in that not only was she consciously "part of this world" but she also took a too an active part in building it up.

How can we read today's "But I say to you; Do not resist the one who is evil but if anyone slaps  you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also" without feeling shame filled horror  for not only all the religious wars that have accompanied the development and decline of Christian Civilization but all the acts of violence perpetrated and incited against her perceived enemies by the rulers of "The Mystical Body of Christ".

Each day I have to thank God for my personal purpose of amendment that guides me to begin each day in prayer and for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who assures me that the Grace of Calvary has always been present in the Church of Love, the New Holy Family and sometimes in parts of its Petrine Institution.
