Until the Incarnation it is true that God revealed himself only to the Jews.

They did not fulfill their side of the Covenant.

God inspired many prophets who had very limited success in turning his beloved back to him.

The Gentiles developed many civilizations and cultures that did not know God. 

Jesus first preached to the "children" of His Father.

We who try to live a Christian Life in the Post-Christian Culture that dominates the whole world even those parts that have never been Christian are shocked by any form of racial or cultural arrogance when we encounter it. 

Nazi Germany's efforts to completely destroy the Jews are so impossibly evil to accept as done by humans that excuses are clutched at by those who cannot accept that all Worldly Evil has been created by mankind.

The descendants of freed African Slaves in the USA are still suffering from the residue of the disgusting segregation that was the "norm" in the "Land of the Free" until only 50 years ago.

Moslem colleagues have never been abashed to look into my face and say "You'll go to Hell, John".

I am upset by Jesus' words to the Sidonian woman just as I am upset by thoughts of the millions of people who have not been guided by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

I remember how upset was St Paul at the thought of his own race's refusal of to accept the love of God. He offered to become "damned" in their place if this would atone for their sin.

I have to thank God for his saving grace and pray that my faith in the New Holy Family can be shared by the whole world of humanity and am sure that if I can be obedient to the revealed loving will of Our Father so can all peoples of the world.

"Blessed are they who observe what is just

Who at all times do what is right."

Solomon and Jesus both have God's favour. Jesus, of course, is by far the greater but until the actuality of his Resurrection only Mary, Theotokos, mother whom he shared with John and us from the cross, knew the holy mystery of the Incarnation. 

"Immaculate Conception" was heard by the shepherd girl at Lourdes, spoken by "Our Lady". This was one of the ways that the appearance of "Our Lady of Lourdes" was verified by the Church for how could St Bernadette who was basically illiterate at the time of the apparitions have heard of the theological dogma that had not been defined until 4 years prior to her meeting with Our Lady. 

This  non-scriptural  doctrine that Mary was prepared from her very conception as the sinless source of the humanity of the Incarnation and is thus the  the only other than Jesus still human bodied (and thus able to enter our earthly reality) soul present with the souls of all the Saints in the never changing Joy of being with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Nothing is impossible to God and so it is possible for the Church to confirm that what are decried by many as mindless superstitions are in fact real events. I cannot deny, however, that over the last two millennia there has been much manipulation of the humble people of God by false prophets and evil prelates.

I am still trying to become one of the humble people of God. I try to read and contemplate the significance of the Mass Readings for each day. God and I know how it is still so very easy for me to sin and lose sight of my primary purpose to know, love and serve Him, but I am always renewed in my struggle when I remember the words spoken by her barely living Son to Mary and John as IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT died in human agony on Calvary.

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

Dear Lord, you know what it is that  I want to ask you. 

My words cannot come close to the disappointment that I feel knowing that the intense joyful Faith of the people of Solomon in this morning's first reading fades and has to go through many generations of failure and renewal before your INCARNATION resets our relationship with you.

Even in the first year of his public life Jesus becomes a figure that is recognised by "multitudes" who seek him out for his power to cure the sick. Many more multitudes have sought him out over the centuries that have passed since those days and yet we still live in this world as if we have never known your guidance.

We have somehow  missed the meaning of the message of the angel accepted by Mary for the world in which I live  is far from what you revealed to be possible by your real presence in creation. 

Help me to overcome the gloom created by worldly events which overshadows even the hope that I have in your words to Mary and John.

I know that I am responsible for my own soul but you Lord died so that we all might live. My prayer is thus first for me but the "me" who implores your mercy is part of a family, a Church, a nation and a World and one of the billions of "Holy Souls", living in this world and also in Purgatory who  completely recognise that they are sinners and completely dependent on you. Lord have Mercy.

Yet again I feel inspired by today's readings to pay more attention to reading the Bible not only for what it contains as selected by the compilers of the Liturgy but also to try to understand  how the first 2/3 generations of Gentile Christians came to base their whole beings on what is throughout the Old Testament a celebration of one race of Human Beings and a repudiation of all the rest.

What has struck me today is that the Psalm for today's mass is a wonderful prayer from the heart which expresses my own feelings and desires to live according to the will of God far better than I can myself. I have always prayed for the "Lord to teach me his statutes" and even in my sins, thank God, have not lost sight of the Mercy that is his, but this psalm seems to have been edited and later today I will use the wonder that is this machine to find out more about that,

The Apostles return from their first missionary journey exhausted and absolutely thrilled by what they have experienced. There are hordes of people milling around and Jesus knows that they need to rest. He takes them across the lake but the multitude  anticipates this manoeuvre and even on foot arrive there before them.

In the 2000 years since that moment, mankind has continued to act as sheep without a shepherd, We have had many kings and leaders most of whom have been as wise and even wiser than Solomon. We are all milling around either literally or figuratively seeking to to be secure in our own selves. We should all quieten down and even in the prime of life centre our lives on IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT even as this morning's multitude sought out Jesus.

There is nothing that anyone of us can do with our lives that is more important than  turning to Our Father and praying that we take the teaching of the Old and New Testaments into our hearts and live our lives accordingly.

It is only when each soul on earth lives righteously that our world can truly give thanks to the Loving Mercy which enables us to cooperate in the reset of creation that is the INCARNATION.

For God nothing is impossible and so I pray that nothing can separate me from the Love of God that is the very being of the Church of Love, the New Holy Family, founded from the cross by the dying words "Woman behold your son, son behold your mother" and sealed by 

"It is finished".

There are some of us who are now living completely in this world without a giving a thought to Our Father except in an abbreviated exclamation which is of course not a thought or a prayer.

I have never felt really comfortable in my life except when looking after my children and grandchildren. Even then I always had at the back of my mind the thought I was not presenting to them an example of holiness  in this world that they could want to emulate.

I am still too close to sin and even now am not sure that I am truly turning to God as I try to wake up in this world remembering that Jesus basically told us  to ignore our physical reality and follow him.

Of course, I am not right in interpreting "My Kingdom is not of this world" as a new commandment to "ignore physical reality" as he also assured us that our good deeds made during our lifetimes were not ignored by Our Father in Heaven and in the Incarnation he actually shared our flesh and himself resisted all the temptations that we face.

We all live in this world as a preparation to enter the Kingdom of Heaven which is a state of being beyond our understanding, beyond our Universe where we can all be forgiven our trespasses to the same extent as we have lived lives of righteousness in this world, by repudiating all aspects of sin.

It must be very difficult for the Great and the Good, the rich and powerful, the Davids, Solomons, and Herods of this world to become as the publican in the Temple humbling beating his breast in search of forgiveness for his sins. It is not easy even for me who am lower in the world even than the publican to maintain the innocence to which our Incarnate God, Jesus of Nazareth showed us the way.

I have to remember "Your Father in heaven knows the hairs of your head" and has created for all his people the Church of Love, His Mystical Body the New Holy Family into which place of love and safety he welcomes us with arms outstretched on the cross:

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

We all of us live in "interesting times". 

The events that any of us witness as we come to know the reality of our own being and whatever we witness around us are the confirmation that "iam" and that I need to know that we all need to be as aware as is David that we are neither self-created nor self-sufficient. 

We are all creatures and subjects of "The Lord " who has revealed himself to be the all powerful IAMIAM in whose invisible "image and likeness" we have all been created.

Jesus warns all nations that we should beware of the "interesting times" of this world for at his trial before the representatives of this world both secular i.e. Pilate and Religious i.e. High Priests he makes the categorical statement "My kingdom is not of this world".

I know that "this world" of "those times" i.e. the living culture of Jews and Gentiles, Temple and Empire were both unacceptable as satisfactory modes of human life by our Father who had required his people whom he had led out of Egypt to follow ten rules while living in this world as a preparation for his "End of Time".

God alone knows why he chose that particular time and place for his Incarnation.

St Paul tells us that we have never been left alone on this planet and that the Resurrection has finalised  the teaching of Moses and become the focus that supersedes all "Interesting Times".

In this morning's Gospel. The first missionaries are to go into Galilee without any possessions. They are literally to present themselves at a stranger's door and offer a blessing and without any manipulation on their part accept the outcome.

God knows that I am already explaining to myself how this could be by attributing the blind obedience of the Disciples to the only really "Interesting Times" the world has ever known; that was His presence in Time in this World, 2000 years ago.

He also knows that I am also preoccupied by the way Jews are still so prominent in the things of this world as the Institutional Churches that he founded on St Peter fade into irrelevance.

"Irrelevance", however, is in the mind of the observer. IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT knows and loves us all and we must never forget that the "things of this world" are temporal distractions which we have to ignore if we are to live according to His Will by obeying His commandments.

According to Chinese proverbial wisdom "May you live in interesting times" is a curse and time in this world truly is so even in words of Jesus.

"What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but suffer the loss of his own soul?".

 04/02/2026

Our Lord, Jesus of Nazareth, True God and true man, Son of God, Son of Mary, is seen this morning alive  and teaching in the synagogue of his home town which he then leaves to continue his mission throughout Galilee.

His friends and neighbours are amazed at his erudition when he preaches but at the same time affronted that such wisdom could come out of the mouth of one of their own whose family was also well-known to them, and that this wisdom could be also supported by "mighty works".

Jesus was not the first Prophet in Israel nor was he the first human being to be esteemed for "Wisdom" in the centuries that had passed before God's Revelation was finalised by the Resurrection. The basic idea condensed into " A Prophet is not without honour except in his own country" had become proverbial not only in the culture of the Middle East but wherever mankind had begun to think about our own being, our existence.

With Jesus there is always "something greater here". With God there is always "something greater than  that can be thought". For mankind there is nothing greater that can be learnt than the completed revelation made by the Resurrection that death is not the end of life. 

We share our spiritual being, our unseen life/soul, image and likeness, with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and can by aligning ourselves, "Thy will be done on earth " with the teachings, of the New Testament prepare ourselves to share the eternal JOY of being present in the Eternal Sinlessness that is Heaven.

For my own part, I pray never to separate myself from the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church of Love, the New Holy Family always aware that the free gift of Salvation for All has had to be created in the same reality in which I am now living. "True God and true man" suffers real pain truly dies on Calvary in order that his final words create "The New Holy Family" our one place of safety in this world.

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