Jesus during his life on earth repeatedly told us that he had come to complete the Law, not to abolish it. 

He is indeed the living law, WORD who is revealed throughout the Old Testament and is today the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, Our Father, the Creator and Destiny of each one of us who can be known only by opening our hearts to His guidance recorded in Scripture and free from the worldly entanglements presented to us by the Institutions that have misled the People of God just as had the scribes and pharisees whom were the only ones that Jesus ever condemned even though he told us to listen to their words for it is in deeds that we "Test Spirits" including our own.

I know that I often fall short of the "know, love and serve" which is how  my "willing spirit" would have me live my life and in these "later times" have tried to discipline my unruly being, spirit and flesh, into focusing on "Our Father" in imitation of Christ and his Apostles by trying to spend some of each day in prayer.

I hope that I have no illusions about the Institutional Church, Eastern, Western or Protestant and know that the Holy Spirit confirms that it began in TRUTH at the headwaters of the Jordan when Jesus responded to Peter's unequivocal declaration of Faith with his foundational promise and that TRUTH has never left it even though it has been almost totally obscured by some 80 generations of "this worldliness".

It is for this reason that I try to begin each day with the mass readings from the Roman Lectionary for I know that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is the INFALLIBLE WORD which is found only in Scripture and also know that "the gates of hell will not prevail" against the Church of Love our New Holy Family even though all the Institutions crumble as do all the other things of this world.

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

The Epiphany

In the first reading Isaiah exults in the Glory of the Lord made manifest both in creation and the revelations made to the descendants of Abraham.

During the first fifty years during and after the Life, Death and Resurrection those who had witnessed these events had come to realise that Jesus had told them that he is God made manifest in human being, flesh, and that his grace was not the exclusive property of those to whom he had made the first revelations recorded in the Old Testament.

Paul, who loved his own race to the point of seriously offering to accept personal damnation if that could atone for the sins of the Jews, knew that the Resurrection had heralded the complete reset of the relationship IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT offered to each individual human being regardless of our DNA. 

The souls which we have to nurture during our lifetimes are each a new creation at the moment of our physical conception and although free, belong to God as his created image and likeness. Jesus has revealed that IAMIAM is FATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT,  infinite Loving Mercy focussed on each of the "iams" we know ourselves to be.

Our lives are lived in this world but just as there was with Jesus there is always "something more here" which is vastly more important. I have to know and love God and value each other person as much as I value my ownself for at the end of my life there is to come my personal Epiphany which Our Father wants to be my Eternal Joy but which also requires my unequivocal cooperation with all that is revealed in Scripture.

Five January

When he began to write his memories of "those days" that are the Mass Readings for this morning 05/01/2026, John has had about fifty years to "ponder" the significance of the events he has witnessed during his long life.

Both the letter and the Gospel are still WORD who is now known to be IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for the Resurrection has completed the reset of His people by Jesus Son of God and confirmed by the destruction of the Temple.

In the letter, John is writing to the beginnings of the "New Israel" that has been founded on Peter and has been preached by the "Friends" of Jesus,  plus Paul, all over the Roman and Persian Empires. 

John has taken care of the Mother of God ever since Jesus' death and knows that it is love that feeds the holiness that makes up a believing heart and so he can tell us that we are able by words and deeds of sinless love to have confidence that our own consciences can guide us along the way, truth and life.

We all have to pray and ponder to build up sincerity of belief in our hearts. The everyday events of this world can very easily consume our attention to the extent that they occupy every moment of our consciousness and block out all thoughts of God. Think of all that is available only a click away.

I have become convinced that the "New Israel" lost its way even in the first centuries of her existence but I know that the WORD will stand to the end of time and I also know that even at the times of her greatest corruption there were still Holy Men and Holy Women to be found within the Church of East and West in spite of the worldliness that corrupted both their structures.

So again at the beginning of this new year I am confirming my thankful trust in the Incarnation and the total revelation that is the Scriptures that guide us all into the security of mutual love in the New Holy Family of Jesus Mary and John by listening again to the dying Jesus who guarantees our Eternal Life.

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

Second Sunday of Christmas

Each individual who is living now, will live in the future or who has ever lived begins each day in the awareness of self and of the world which is unique and experienced only by himself. I know that "I am" and I know that the physical world is also as real as the body that "I am" but with each of us  there is always something more than material body and physical awareness

The Prophet Sirach in this morning's First Reading proclaims joyfully that the "something more" of his being is the "Wisdom" which was given to the chosen people as awareness of the law which IAMIAM revealed in his love for his people. The Psalm is also a song of thankful joy for the gifts given to Jerusalem.

St Paul is one of the first to grasp that in Jesus' Life, Death and Resurrection IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has completed his revelation of how we should live out our lives in this world and that has been his eternal will for the created being that is "image and likeness" and which we all share.

The world is the reality within which we live but it must never become dominant to the extent that it blocks awareness of the Love of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT from infusing into our souls.

St Paul tells us that we have been predestined to become "adopted sons" but that does not happen unless we use our freedom to co-operate with Our Father. Neither righteousness nor evil can be forced into us. We are created as free beings in "image and likeness" to refuse the Devil, World and Flesh and be welcomed into the loving safety that is knowing, loving and serving in this world. 

We can be sure to do this when we seek out the WORD in scripture and stand with Mary and John at the foot of the cross witnessing the total devastation that is the seeming triumph of DEATH  but is the  necessary precursor to the Resurrection, the completed revelation and complete reset of creation.

Both the first and second mass readings for today are attributed to St. John. 

I really believe that they are "by" St John but the "learned and clever" of this world have taught me to doubt even the source of the words of scripture and I know that I could not sustain any position in a discussion about biblical sources as the very limited knowledge that I have is only in English.

John tells us that  "the world" did not know Jesus. John is still living in "the world" that was the experience of the generation that had refused to accept that "The WORD had become flesh and dwelt among them" during the three years of public revelation by Jesus in Palestine.

In today's Gospel John remembers what happened when the Baptizer met Jesus. 

"The Baptist" simultaneously recognises "The Lamb of God", the only sacrificial victim that can "take away the sins of the world", "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" as the "BEING" of God and the INCARNATION "this is the Son of God".

Most of the  "world" that was the generation living in the same time as Jesus refused to recognise this and all the other "events" as the real-time revelations by "Emmanuel" .

I would dearly love to live righteously during the rest of the time remaining for me. I know that the events of 2000 years ago recorded in Scripture explain all that I need to know about being alive in this world in any post-Resurrection generation but I am afraid that the Sacramental Reality of "This is my, body" cannot be found in the "this worldliness" that, less than 200 years after the deaths of those who had known Jesus, had corrupted both the worldly Papal and Imperial Institutional Church.

There is nowhere in the history of "the world" known by any of the generations subsequent to the death of the Apostles and Assumption of Mary that we can be sure of the claimed presence of God except in the Scriptures and in the individuals whose lives demonstrate a complete faithfulness to those Scriptures.

I believe St John's witness to the words of the "Last of the Old Testament Prophets"; "This is the Son of God"; and can continue to strive to recognise and avoid sin by also believing his witness to Jesus', "Son of God and Son of Mary", last words;  "Woman behold your son. Son behold your mother" which create a New Holy Family, a Church of Love, uttered to Mary and to him from the cross.

The only thing of value within the things of this world is that we can we can recognise the emptiness of their being and totally reject them as we live our lives focussed only on how to know, love and serve in this world to achieve the perfection that is created for each of us in the heart of "Our Father".

The only thing that even the greatest of us can retain at death is the gift that God bestows on all his children, and we all have to personally answer for the condition in which we return our Soul, the invisible source of our lives.

 02/01/2026

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has never left us to be alone and lonely as the "Image and Likeness" of the unlimited vastness of his unseen perfect being. 

He has in these "Later Days" completed his teaching and we the pinnacle of material creation have been taught that our created persons, our invisible souls do not decay when our animal bodies die.

At the beginning of 2026, 100 generations of mankind after the Incarnation, we are still living in "these later days" for everything we need to know to become the "Adopted Children of God" has been signed, sealed and delivered by INCARNATESON during his life on earth.

Even in the very first of our "Later Days" there were those who did not accept the evidence that we still find in the scriptures. Many of those who had screamed "Crucify him, Crucify him" did not regret their actions and sought to maintain an impossible opposition to "Resurrection Faith" from "day one". 

There are millions of humans who have lived and died believing  the lie, first told by the Scribes and Pharisees in response to the Resurrection, developed by the Rabbis and reactivated by Mohammed.

Within the writings of Old and New Testament WORD is eternally present to enlighten us with the light that is Christ and so we try not "hate" anyone but we all know that anger arises unbidden in our hearts and minds. 

In the first reading Mary's adopted Son warns us that it is a lie to deny that Christ is God. Elizabeth's son, also named John, knew that he was the final Prophet exclusive to the "Chosen People" symbolises by baptism in the Jordan the Saving Grace of blood and water that is to be poured out on Calvary.

Jesus was killed by his enemies, both the Johns also stood firm in the face of their enemies, many more "Anti-Christs" have and are still lying to themselves in these continuing "days" but the WORD still stands and will fill our hearts from within even though he demands that we do the seemingly impossible by turning the other cheek, never forgetting that the neighbours whom we have to love as we do ourselves are also the enemies who do and do not know what it is to hammer nails through the human flesh of the Son of God.

Dear Lord, forgive me from adding to the evil of this world by excusing my anger as "righteous" let me truly be part of the "New Holy Family" by imitating the totally sinless obedience of Mary and the purity that is recognised by "The Loving Disciple" and thus learn how ensure that my conduct is not decided by the actions of others. Help me to retain your LOVE in my heart. Amen

Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God.

Mary is a real human person. 

So am I. 

This means that both she and I are aware that we are created beings and that we are unique in this being, both of us, the only one of our kind, in this created universe that is the Glorious Will to Love of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT made manifest in and to "image and likeness" the pinnacle of created being, mankind.

Both of us are "Natural" in that our being is created by "Our Father". We are both "born under the law". We have  completely natural bodies ultimately composed of the "flesh" that human science has come to know as the particles of material being that are all but beyond human understanding in the  power of their almost timelessly invisible infinitude.

With Jesus there is "always something greater here" and so too with every human being for we all also have the unique life of our souls  that is created by God at the moment of our conception and certainly lasts  until "the end of time".

Mary, however, is the "fulness of time", she is the "Mother of God", who is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT'S chosen sinless person to be the natural source of his "begotten not made", "Incarnation" and can thus become our mother for being sinless, she has never died and is with her Son, Jesus always ready to welcome our souls into the mystical New Holy Family of Love that she accepted when she heard the words of her Son.

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

Dear Lord, keep me from sin just for today and help me to know, love and serve. Let me learn to overcome these difficulties of living with which I am surrounded. Please help me to truly be your servant and let these prayers be heard and enhanced by Mary and all the saints that they may  bring Mercy to me and mine on Earth and also to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen
