In today's first reading we are listening to the totality of IAMIAM as experienced by the Old Testament confronted by the Resurrection. St Paul is a living Jew who is part of the human generation that not only knew the Law as revealed through Prophets but lived and had shared the same material Universe at the same time as the Incarnation.

The Law had been for Paul and the actual friends and enemies of Jesus as necessary for their lives as the air that they breathed and the food that they ate. The Lawyers whom Jesus challenges  in this morning's Gospel have so intellectualised the events of the past in "Scriptures" that even today Jews continue to "boast" about God as they live lives that continue the face to face defiance of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT many of them showed to Jesus and which resulted in the Crucifixion.

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus is not about creating texts for us to study and discuss. The Way, Truth and Life does not lead to anything that is temporal. How could any one add to the "Greater Glory of God"? The Resurrection completes the revelation that the essence of my being is timeless spirit which has been created to live in material time by freely conforming to the revelations made to past generations and by being ready to receive those made to each of us.

Our recognition of the material universe depends entirely on the evidence provided by our senses but our eternal lives can only be recognised by Faith in the revelation of Love completed by Jesus and the works that this Faith inspires from us during our limited lifetimes.

How could it ever be possible that Paul would ever be "ashamed" of the "Gospel" revealed to the world by the Incarnation, Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary?

I have throughout my lifetime sometimes felt embarrassed by the outward signs of my religion and  recently been truly ashamed by the manifest failings of the "Institutional Church", but the only shame that I can associate with the Word of God comes about from my personal failure to live unwaveringly the Way, the Truth and the Life revealed for all peoples and all times in the Holy Land engraced in time and place by the presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT two thousand years ago.

Paul, however, was a Pharisee who could have known or been known to those condemned by Jesus in this morning's Gospel reading. He had been personally called directly by the Resurrection and knew that "everything within him had been cleansed" for he had let go of all that  had not come from God which defined him as "Paul"  and he thus became an example of how to live a life of faith by clinging onto the Resurrection throughout his life and preaching this up to the very moment of his death.

I know that there is nothing about me that is not known to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and pray that I too may be an acceptable offering, a libation, as was Paul, for I am a sinner who can be cleansed only by Mercy to finally become at home within the New Holy Family, preached by Paul as the "Body of Christ", the Church of Love that will stand until the end of time.

Monday 28 Week in Ordinary Time

There are billions of us living in this world at this moment. 

Millions of us have lived and died since that moment when Paul began his letter to his distant friends, those who knew themselves to be loved by God and ready to return that love by becoming living saints, defined by holiness. 

In his greeting he defines himself, the individual who had been blasted into belief by the "Resurrection" as a "servant" who has been sent by Our Lord to continue the revelation first made through the prophets he knew from his study of scripture.

Each one of us also knows our individual selves and it is with this "I" that we are free to respond to all that our awareness, temporal, mental and spiritual makes known to us. 

Jesus, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, is "True Man" and as such lived amongst contemporaries with whom he formed a unique human generation. It is only from the recorded lived experiences of this generation that we have the final testimony that "Our Father" completes thus making his will for us completely transparent and never changing.

Jesus never equivocates. "Before Abraham was, I am" . 

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" tells us that we can all overcome  the stark warning of "This is an evil generation" of this morning's Gospel addressed first to those on whom we have to rely as the foundations of our faith and quest for holiness, and subsequently to all of us who have ever lived.

I am still alive this morning and aware that I am indeed a lone individual who cannot absorb all the happenings that the "BBC" or any other of the "News" purveyors, who are my ears, eyes and knowing of  the present moment, reveal to me as the worldly reality that the billions of us are experiencing in this NOW.

The "lone individual" that I am knows that, even though I am the accumulative experience of millions of seconds lived in this material universe, each continuing breath is a step into the unknown for my consciousness, contained in and limited to the past, cannot see beyond each moment of worldly life.

In the Old Testament, God, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, spoke to each of us but only the response of some has been recorded. We know those as "Prophets".

In today's first Mass Reading, Jonah, too, was a "lone individual"  to and through whom "IAMIAM" again revealed that each of us must not sin and that it is a completely useless and stupid task for any individual being, family, culture, nation or religion to promote its self-will and try to resist the revealed will of God. 

The  Ninevites, however, repented and were saved by God's Mercy.

Jesus is God's Mercy, the Incarnation. He is God's complete self-revelation in worldly time. He lived in his human body second by second, as do all animals, from conception to death but is eternally the Word/Resurrection, the Power, Glory, the Ever-Present Mercy of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

He teaches by his life, death and resurrection that what was revealed through the prophets was the never-ending truth that comes from God. Each one of us has the same mission in life to obey our Loving Father and hate sin. 

We do not need to be overcome by our failures, however, as each breath we take continues to  provide us with the opportunity to prove by accepting his words from the cross, our "Love of God", both in prayer and selfless care for all the other lone individuals of whatever culture (today's Gospel  Luke 10 25-37 "Who is my neighbour?") that we lone individuals can become one people of God, the Church of Love, the New Holy Family 

"Woman behold your Son. Son behold your mother".

Today Baruch tells his contemporaries that the shameful behaviour of their leaders, kings and priests is  the result of the personal defiance of God made when each one of them sins. (Baruch 1 15-22)

Today Jesus warns us that to reject his teaching is to reject God. (Luke 10 13-16)

In the real time of this morning, I know that I am a sinful man and that I am personally responsible for adding to the cumulative sin of this world.

God also knows that I am "sore distressed" and pained in my soul that his final revelation, Incarnation, Crucifixion and Resurrection, Our Lord Jesus Christ is still being dishonoured by the sterile selfishness of mankind. 

Today, those who claim to have faith  continue to kill each other to prove the validity of their beliefs and . those who have completely given themselves over to Mammon are preaching an invisible material "New God" they have invented and  named "Crypto". (BBC News 03/10/2025)

Dear Lord, help me to be open to your grace and let my prayers be united with those of Mary, the angels and all the saints that mankind become united against sin and totally aware that Jesus is the only way, truth and life.

Friday week 25 Ordinary Time

I hope that I can truly pray today with my mind and heart open to the inspiration of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRT. Help me to be a soul obedient to do your will even if only for the brief spell of time that I can bear the awareness of Your Ever-greater Glory.

The Liturgical Scriptures for today cover thousands of years of human time through which millions of we humans have struggled to do your will and worship you. It seems to me that in the Old Testament your Chosen People  were aware of your real presence for you really did lead them into the Promised Land. You rewarded their obedience and punished their transgressions in this world in ways that could not be doubted that you were the direct cause. You, our Creator, continued to act in human time and directly showed your power in the material reality that is still this world.

WE Christians continue to pray "thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" but your Incarnation has poured out your Loving Mercy as unseen Grace to ensure that each one of us has to accept that spiritual gift  and  take personal responsibility for the care of our own souls. We are all fully formed human beings and it is only in personal holiness that we can bear witness to IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and this holiness can only be received when prayed for directly to You the One Source.

Help me to pray that the sinfulness of this beautiful world can be overcome by each one of us returning to Our Father the Love that is beyond all understanding yet is the firm foundation of all being. In today's Gospel you made it quite clear to your Apostles that it is each one of us that has to respond in personal prayer to your call to us just as you did to the Father during your life on earth. 

On Calvary you completed our education teaching us that we cannot avoid physical pain as we seek the forgiveness that only comes from the Way, Truth and Life. Jesus is never false. "My kingdom is not of this world" is the warning that has not yet been heeded and thus there has never been a truly "Christian Generation" to ensure that Jesus' role to banish sin from the Universe is fulfilled in Real Time.

There has been far too much evil perpetrated in the world since "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church" for anyone to believe in the "Power of the keys" as a source of holiness and guarantee of salvation. Peter knew this as he asked "What of this man?". Death has always been the end of life in this world but we have all been created to become joyful and eternal witnesses to the wonder of divine power and love. 

Before the final pain of death Jesus looked at Mary and then at John and created the Mystical Church of Love that has never and can never be corrupted by the things of this world. It is held together by the True Man and True God, Mystical Body of Christ whose humanity followed the full course of human development from fertilised egg to viable infant in the body of the very Theotekos who still ponders in her heart the Greatness of God and continues to fight against the forces of evil that still seem to be victorious in this world which was 2000 years ago left in the care of "Peter" to await the second coming.

Jesus cannot lie. "I will be with you always even till the end of time".

I have been alive for more than 80 years and know that I still have to fight all the wonders of this world, the environment and culture into which I was born, if I am to live as Jesus taught us by his words and deeds.

Mankind has so wonderfully made use of physical matter that I am able to use this machine to, as it were, turn back time and observe real people still living via "Persian Nomad YouTube" today the same sorts of life as were the peasants of Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes in first reading.

Even without electricity, I can open books, and read how the first generation of Christians adapted their understandings to accept the the "Good News" that "IAMIAM" had revealed himself to be "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" and had in his incarnate life taught that we all have to prepare ourselves for Death and Resurrection which he shared as True Man with us.

Most of us who are living today are cushioned in a "cloud cuckoo land" of materialism and we refuse to even consider that the revelations of the Bible have life-giving significance. 

Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, the Jews although guided through the prophets could not escape the then primitive joys of materialism and even though, thousands of martyrs followed Jesus to public execution, the Church he founded on Peter soon became entangled in the same Materialism that still keeps so many of us from becoming "My mother, my brothers, my sisters, those who hear the word of God and do it", the New Holy Family of God confirmed by Jesus' words from the cross to Mary and John.
