I can receive the Mass Readings for today with "joy in my heart" for as I listen to "The Word" I truly know that I am enfolded by Holy Spirit in the  pure love that is FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and that I can respond with acceptable sincerity as I raise my heart and mind to the "Invisible God", the Father of the only Son, the Holy Spirit, the revelation of Eternal Reality.

In Deuteronomy  Moses completes the revelation that has prepared the Descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to enter into and occupy the "Promised Land". We have to obey the Will of God as it has been revealed to us on Mt Sinai and accept it as the only essential element of our being in order that our own consciences become trustworthy guidance on our way through life.

Today St Paul sings a new psalm of total acceptance of  the Faith that he has received directly from the Resurrection. God has renewed his creation and is himself the "Church" which is the community of those who those who truly believe that we  can choose for ourselves to be united to become the Mystical Body of which Jesus is the Head.

And who is this Jesus? Son of God. God from God. Begotten not made . Of one being with the Father. Son of Mary. Begotten not made. Gestating as we all have done but without sin, perfect humanity from embryo to the tomb. He lived and suffered on Earth for 33 years only for the benefit of the humanity which today continues to reject the Eternal Love promised by the Resurrection to those who strive to become "Good Neighbours" to enemies as well as to friends.

Dear Lord help me to avoid my personal sins and let all those who are now choosing to live the self-centred lives that are the source of all evil in this world accept the Grace that can fill us all with Joy. May my prayers join with those of Mary and all the saints that we sinners on Earth and in Purgatory come to understand that temptation can be withstood for that is why the Incarnation, Crucifixion and Resurrection completed your revelation of what it means to be "Children of God". Amen

I do not know what more I can do to bear witness to the revelations made by God over the centuries than these the reflections with which I begin each new day of my life.

It is a very rare event that they are read by any other person.

Today Jesus tells us that we should shout out to the whole world what we have learnt from the "still quiet voice" that whispers into our heart and we should do this without fear.

Each day as I write, I am not afraid but can always hear objections that could be raised to the words of my personal faith by 

• The Institutional Church.  
• Materialistic philosophers. 
• Our Father

Just as the Old Testament records mankind's failure to live up to its revelation of  the loving guidance of God so does the History of the Church from "Those days" up to now, for she has always been too tangled up in the things of this world to be true to the Holy Spirit, the Guardian in this world of our Souls and Sacraments.

Science and Materialism are wonderful products of human intelligence but entrap us in a closed circle that fails to answer the search for meaning that is completed only at each individual's end of mortal life.

I am much more than a "Sparrow of God" and he knows everything that I have ever thought or done, wished for or regretted, seen or heard. Every hair of my head is counted as is every sin of my being. I have to respond to my life in the light of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT with a two-way open heart, receiving and returning with thanks everything that Our Father lays open before me.

Dear Lord. let my prayer be acceptable and may I continue to know, love and serve with fearless sincerity for I really do believe that You know me. Amen.

Jesus completes the revelations that begin in the Book of Genesis. We have to use "Wisdom" to live with integrity. We have to avoid all the ensnarements of hypocrisy into which self-righteousness can so easily lead us.

St Benedict knew that "My Kingdom is not of this World" means exactly what it says and he also knew that the Church of his day was not fulfilling the will of her founder . He also knew that human pride can sully even the most sincere of our intentions even in our personal devotion to Our Father. His "rule" was to be an aid for individual Christian Living in but not of this world and could be considered as the "Shema" of completed revelation.

Jesus tells us that the more we abandon the things of this world the greater will be our reward in the New Creation. Today we are not told to dishonour our family ties, break the fourth/fifth commandment but to remember that the way to perfection begins with the First Commandment which leads us into a new family of the Children of God.

We all have to remember this each day of our lives. 

St Benedict knew that the Church founded on St Peter had already become entangled in this world, can his remaining monks be sure that they are meeting the requirements of their own vows when living in the vast almost empty spaces that are their remaining monasteries?

God knows, that there is much more important Christian work that needs to be done in my country than attending to the education of the wealthy, upper-classes and promoting the elite exclusivism of the Latin Mass Society.

Dear Lord, You know that at this moment, I am overcome by my own sense of total weakness and futility confronted as I am with the incomprehensible vastness of Your Creation. Yet, even my puny self is able to know and somewhat understand the difference between the knowledge we have found out for ourselves, and what you have revealed to us.

I do know that I have a brain and that controls my body and can be analysed and probed in its physical reality by the Scientifically Enlightened, the Learned and Clever of the last three or so centuries.

I also know that I have consciousness that is aware that it is an immortal "image and likeness" created and revealed by the Love that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT forever in the True Reality, that is the Your Holy Mind.

It is this consciousness my own "iam" that reads today's mass readings.

I can experience the guilt that almost paralyses his brothers when Joseph reveals himself to them and the simultaneous joy of Joseph's forgiveness, the loving mercy that is God's participation in that historical event  recorded in the Scriptures.

I am inspired to the piety that is the liturgical beauty of the Psalm for we have no words that can record the "wonder" that is safety and peace in the You.

I too receive the mission given to the Apostles that enables us all to live to the full the life that we have been "loved" into being to complete. The Garden, Covenants and Law are completed by the Life, Death and Resurrection of our Incarnate God.

I am still, tiny, weak, puny, insignificant and pathetic but never "futile" when I put all my trust, belief and faith in "Our Father".

May my sins and the sins of the whole world continue to be forgiven and may we all become as children putting their hands into those of their parents with the undoubting confidence of unconditional love. Amen.

All of us who have ever lived have been created as the pinnacle of material being and thus our bodies are limited by the laws of science which include "entropy", the complete physical death which cannot be escaped.

It has always been possible for each of us to live as if we were nothing more than this but mankind has always known that the "life" which is no more in any dead body, even of the animal he has successfully hunted is, "something greater here".

The "something greater here" can become known as "image and likeness" but begins at birth as a non-physical awareness of self and each one of our physical responses to the safety of "my mother".

The "something greater" can become known as "image and likeness" because "Our Father" has always shared the absolutely supreme wonder of his loving freedom with "the apple of his eye" who is completely unrestricted in his personal choice.

IAMIAM has completed the revelation of himself as IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT which began in the twelve tribes of Israel, with Jesus and his Twelve Apostles. The Bible contains everything that we need to know about how to say "Yes" to "Our Father" and yet we continue to add to the weight of sins that began with Adam.

It seemed that in that original Jesus generation there was a community of faith and love that could not be shifted and yet the Momentum of Mammon has continued unabated and even increased in my own times to deny to God's face the need for forgiveness of any of our sins.

Dear Lord , You know that I am a sinner and deserve punishment but so many of your children are swamped by this world  which has lost itself in materialism and through no fault of their own are in grave danger of losing their souls. May my prayers join those of Mary and all the saints and bring true enlightenment back into the world. Forgive me for what I have personally done and witnessed without public protest and may the Church founded on Peter become true to her roots. St Francis was able to stand naked before you, she too can strip herself of all worldliness to truly become your Mystical Body but it has to come about by her own willingness to be true to your word.

Along with Jacob, I always wrestle, but with myself, when I try to begin each day in prayer, searching for the "holiness" God has created me to choose to be my way of life.

As I begin my daily, sometimes hourly, struggle not to lose sight of God within the confusion of data that composes my being, I know that I am a son of the Church founded on St Peter.

I am thus an heir to the Covenants recorded in the Old Testament and also the recipient of the command to Love that is the "Shema" and fulfilled by a life of adherence to the "Tablets of the Law".

I also know that God  never ceased to guide his people adding through the prophets more to our awareness of his "unknowableness" and of our self-willed failings and the means to atone for them.

God's guidance for all humanity was completed when the events of the Gospels ended 2000 years ago in Israel and the Eucharist is to remain as the Sacramental Real Presence until the end of time.

I am but one man who has sinned much and who devoutly seeks pardon. Yet, each day of my life I am also aware of the grotesque insults that we human beings fling and have flung into the face of our loving Father. I can seek forgiveness for my own sins but for the present and historical sins of the Church and Society I can do no more than mourn as I turn my inward eye to Calvary. Forgive us once more, Dear Jesus.

The events recorded in the scriptures all take place in this world and are witnessed by individual human beings in human time but they also involve IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and thus have universal, eternal significance.

This morning in Genesis it is remembered that the man "Jacob" was assured by the Lord that the place where he was then sleeping was to be his and his descendants for evermore.

I am sure that what is happening in Gaza at this moment as I type these words is not at all part of the intention of the Lord as he began his care of the Children of Abraham in the person of Jacob, at the first "House" of God, Bethel.

No matter how much I have sinned during my lifetime, Our Father never ceases to reach out to me pleading from his cross that I use my freedom to accept his Love and reject everything that does not comply with his revealed will.

The People of the Old Testament continued and still continue in their rebellious relationship with IAMIAM that could not grow beyond the sinfulness that is always the result of human self-love but are always present in His Love that is Beyond all Understanding. It was for their sake that God began the Incarnation in the womb of a teenager in Nazareth.

The Son of God made himself known to his Chosen People by deeds of healing and feeding, by his miracles that shocked many into an awareness that the Baptizer's call to repentance was being continued.

Two thousand years later we have billions of words that record the reactions of millions of us to the events of History but there has been nothing added that is more important for each individual one of us than the words and events of those years in Palestine.

That is why we should all try to return to and become part of the Jesus Generation. Help me with your grace. Amen
