The readings that are used in the liturgy are part of the completed record of God's Revelation. The Holy Bible is available to each one of us to instruct us how we have to respond in our own beings to the Supreme Mystery of Being who is always our Good Shepherd.

The texts that we use were finalized in the fifth century but their awareness of God is from the depths of time  when the first generation of mankind was adapting to life in a world into which our first parents had introduced sin.

Many, many generations later we have to face living in a world where we can both ignore our sins and protect ourselves from the dangers of material life. 

Some of us, therefore,  think that we can discard the image of peace that the "Good Shepherd" has been for centuries for we can tell ourselves that mankind has become  its own Guardian God and only "Losers", those afraid to face up to the visible Universe and proclaim the greatness of Humanity, could be pathetic enough to bow down before anything immaterial and unseen, a product of human weakness and fear.

Today's feast celebrates the wisdom, power, loving-kindness that is the Incarnation. 

In the New-Testament, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has preempted any alternatives to his revelations that could ever be made by those who choose in their pride to become his enemies. He has only ever wanted us to return his Love and thus become holy. 

Jesus true God and True Man has a truly human, both physical and spiritual heart that is the first fruits of the New Creation that will mark the end of time. It is from this heart, pierced for us on Calvary,  that flowed out blood and water that is the infinite mercy of our God. Maranatha Lord, Come Lord Jesus Come!

I and everyone else are responsible for recognising that we are not just part of some random event in which we are aware only of our own being. We not only have to know, "Lord, Lord" but love and serve by doing his will.

The experiences and awareness of some of the earliest of our forefathers are recorded in the fragments of recorded history that we know as the Book of Genesis. 

Those were the first people to be presented by God with the same task of being consciously aware of their own being as part of the vast reality of creation as am I when each morning I awake from sleep into consciousness of myself and what I know of God and of the world today and its history.

Today, God knows, that I stalled unable, at first, to face the facts that are always the challenges of  being alive. I was "sore afraid" but unable to return to the peace of sleep

I  have, since that dismal first awakening, struggled in the deserts of Ur of the Chaldees and the darkness of the obscurity that is the origin of the Jews and their knowledge of the ONEGOD.

I can be  enlightened by the Psalm which is the joy of developing Faith and realisation of the Love that is the Supreme Being. 

I can finally  leave all obscurity behind when I come into the presence of Jesus.

God, however, knows that I am still, even as I close my reflections today, not as peaceful in myself as I usually am when sincerely raising my heart and mind in prayer. 

There is absolutely no reason why accepting the Will of God should ever be easy and comfortable. The conclusion of the revelations that began with Abraham in obscurity was preceded by the public display of pain and suffering leading to the death of Christ, Son of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and it is my sins that contributed to this ultimate of evils that is the condition for the reset of Creation that enables us all to return with Christ to the Father.

Dear Lord, help me to be truly grateful for your grace which never ceases to help me avoid sin. Let me not forget that I am not alone and that my soul is part of the Mystical Body that is the Church of Love that forms the New Holy Family. Let me never forget to pray for the forgiveness of my sins and those of the whole world. Drive  me away from the self-satisfaction that starts to arrive whenever I think that I am aligned with your will. May my prayers be one with those of Mary as we seek your pardon for the Holy Souls and that the Leaders of Mankind resist temptation and abandon the social evils and love of power that kills the unborn, shortens the span of live and blasts "enemies" off the face of the Earth,

It is always possible for each one of us to become our own "false-prophet". All the evil that is still being created at this moment as I try to find my way to the truth that comes from God begins in the hearts of men who are accepting themselves as the sole source of truth in this world.

In my lifetime, I have been aware of much evil both perpetrated by "others"  and in my personal sins. I know that  there is no evil that comes from God and that I have always been able, although often have failed, to avoid the temptations which I have accepted to create even more sin.

All evil/sin is always created by those who follow the selfish promptings of their own beings and ignore the beginning of "Righteousness" that is "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God" and "Wisdom" that is "Fear of the Lord".

I am sure that for myself that it is my "iam", miniscule as it certainly is, that wields an inordinate amount of power in respect of itself and continues to challenge as do all "false prophets" the Revelations that, always, are the source of  "wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude piety and fear of the Lord" that must be accepted by each human being if we are to be delivered from the false fruits of the human liars who still dominate us in this world.

Two thousand years have passed since Jesus warned us of the lies which have grown ever stronger. Eighty human generations have failed to leave to their heirs the perfection that results from perfect adherence to Resurrection Faith.

We have, however,  never completely forgotten "I will be with you even to the end of time" and can still call out to IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, Our Lord, Mary and all the Saints with confidence that Loving-Kindness, Loving Forgiveness Loving Mercy are totally accessible for us who can overcome self-pride, self-love, and self-satisfaction which are the marks of our personal "False-Prophet" whom we all know and have to disown, to enable us to do the will of God.

Today the Scriptures appointed to be read at mass celebrate the birth of the last of the Old Testament Prophets, John, who was to round off the central role played in the History of Salvation by the Children of Abraham by preparing the way for the Incarnate Son to become the total revelation of what each one of us should strive with the whole of our beings to become. 

We are Christians and our Faith is the Resurrection.

In those days, the living people about whom we read were becoming the events recorded as scripture for us to contemplate in our own real-time which has been completely enlightened by those events of which today's can be thought of as the beginning. 

They were Jews who already had  a unique place in the History of the Human Race.

They had, however, continued to ignore the revelations made solely to them and somehow misused their freedom to the extent that their created evil was so great that it had to be overcome only by the self-humiliation and immolation of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for a re-set of created reality to take place.

Eighty generations after those days we cannot ignore that evil is still being created by the actual descendants of those who marvelled at "His name is John" and by us who have never truly accepted the Grace of "those days" and of 2000 years of Resurrection Faith.

In those days, although it seems that Abram is alone with God as Adam had been in the Garden, when he heard the voice of God, Abram was not alone in the world. Many more than one individual and civilization had come and gone from "Ur of the Chaldees" when Our Father began again to teach us how to live obedient and worshipful lives in the Light of his Supreme Being.

When I begin my daily response to my own consciousness and awareness of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT I know that innumerable human beings are also alive today and many generations have come and gone. I know that at exactly this moment I can do as Jesus tells us all to do and find the "mote" that obscures me from the pure light that came to Abram so many centuries ago and has never been turned off since the beginning of time.

Today there is so much happening in the world that is so obviously contrary to the Love that overflows to become God's creation that I feel actually sick in my stomach and quite desperate that the ones I know and love are going to live on punished for the sins of their fathers.

I really am weak and frightened that I could be a "loser" not only in the eyes of the world but also in the sight of God. These are not just words. They are my real fear but as I write them I catch a glimpse of the hill outside the walls, long long ago in Palestine, where today man's wickedness rains down hateful death and destruction, where the weak and totally defeated Jesus, our love, creates from the pain of the cross the assurance of his Church of Love, the New Holy Family, the unfailing source of Grace that can never be defeated even though all the enemies of God unite as they have never done before, even when they killed God in the land he had given to their Father, Abram and have, during my lifetime, never ceased to disgrace by their arrogant selfish inhumanity.

Dear Lord, you know how your warning about "judging others" can so easily become the ignoring of evil to the extent of supporting it out of lack of trust in you. My Lord, you have never commended those who have ignored your commandments and told us all to pray for our enemies. I hope that I have no hatred for anything except the outstanding evils of my lifetime which are as much manifest today in the hateful actions of Jews as subjects as it was when they themselves suffered so much as objects of hatred.

We are still not making a very good job of doing your will on Earth. Help more of  us to live in a way that shows a greater willingness to believe that it is still only by "loving our neighbour as ourselves" that we can "know, love and serve" and thus become people bearing a closer resemblance to what you intended us to be. Amen

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 .
