Sometimes when I have concluded my meditations I feel thrilled by my own thoughts which I did not know that I had until I saw them in black and white on this screen. At other times, I struggle and as I write recognise within myself  an adversary who is mocking and pointing out that no matter how much I try I am still very far from the holiness that I claim to seek.

Today before opening Universalis to read the mass-readings I looked at the current news about the war.

It is impossible for me to ignore that the same battles that were fought by the Jews in the Old Testament are still being fought, as they have been throughout my own lifetime, three thousand years later by the original "People of God".

One of the "Thoughts" of Pascal considered the continuing existence of the Jews as a race apart from the rest of mankind as a proof for the existence of God.

God knows that when I watched the news this morning, I saw the epitome of greed and stiff-necked arrogance displayed by two Jewish faces and knew that I had to counter the distaste that I felt for I am  Christian and know that the incarnate Son of God himself has that same physical characteristics.

Mary's Son, our Saviour was begotten by the Holy Spirit in the sinless womb of Theotokos, the Immaculate Conception to become the concluding event of God's revelation. The Chief Priests refuse to listen to Living Word and inveigle the Romans to execute the Son of God. By all accounts, a similar sort of behaviour is being repeated today in my own Generation.

The Jewish race was the first to receive the Blessing. Jesus atoned for their continuing refusal to live according to the Word and arose to reset IAMFATHERSON'S relationship with the whole world. At his trial Our Lord made it clear that it is not for the sake of the kingdoms, empires, democracies, national homes or anything political that he is becoming the Final Sacrifice. 

We have been shown the Way, Truth and Life and each individual being, Image and Likeness, is free to learn how to do the will of Our Father by knowing, loving and serving for we all are much more than our physical bodies. It is within our souls that we are all free to accept and return the love that he creates in his Church of Love, New Holy Family.

The inspiration of the Holy Spirit has never left us to be alone since the time when Adam/Eve brought sin into creation.

Today is no different than the many centuries that have passed since the real-times within which were written the mass-readings for today. They  are interpretations of  real-time history informed by both subsequent contemplation and events.

Today is no different for our world is again obviously submerged and engrossed by the evil that mankind brings into it and is not even trying to do the Will of God but engaged in a war that is the result of millennia of accumulated individual sin that feeds the pride of nations and their leaders.

Today is an ancient Jewish "high day and holiday" that is still celebrated after some two and a half millennia. We can be sure that Jesus celebrated this festival, first in his own Holy Family and then with his disciples. 

I am first struck by the huge irony of history that Purim which celebrates God's release of the Jews, the chosen people, from Persian oppression is being celebrated as the modern descendants of Hebrew and Persians are slaughtering each other at the exact moment I am tapping out these words.

The story of God's revelation of his purpose in creating humanity was completed on Calvary "It is finished" and proclaimed by the Apostles in reaction to the Glory of the Resurrection.

There has never been a generation since those times that has been devoted to doing God's will. There has never been a generation without war and the sin which is always its ultimate cause. Every century which should be "Years of Our Lord" has been marred with Crusades, Jihad and Pogroms.

Our Churches have failed even when fed by the continuing sacramental real presence of our Saviour. The Jews are as stiff-necked as ever. The Moslems are still denying the Incarnation and following their false prophet. All three are locked in yet another asinine and totally unholy struggle in the land that God gave to Abraham whom all three claim as their forefather.

All my life I have intermittently tried to find the Lord who promised to be "with us always even to the end of time" and have always realised that he has been ignored by most of us who have ever lived since those times. Our Churches have always become too  entangled with the things of this world to fulfill their mission that was built on Peter.

In these latter times of my life, however, I have begun to realise that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has never left us completely alone. He is the Word that we may find in uncontaminated Sacraments but surely can find in Scripture which leads us into the certainty that  is the Spiritual Church of Love, the New Holy Family .

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

God blessed Abraham for the purpose of being a blessing for all time in the whole world. 

I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonours you I will curse,

and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

His descendants became so enthralled in their own beings and ignored the universality of the "Blessing" they cherished, that God, who still loves mankind, the product of his own perfect freedom to love human freedom into being, reset his relationship with humanity.  Eternal Word became incarnate to share human life in order to give to the world another chance to become holy.

‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.’ 

At his trial before Pilate, Jesus declared, "My kingdom is not of this world". This does not mean that what we do in this world is of no concern to Our Father. It is in this world that we have our beings and are responsible to obey the will of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and thus to try to perfect the world into the holiness that was the purpose of Our Father.

I am a weak and powerless sinner who each day hopes that he is not hiding from the world when I pray the scriptural mass readings and type reactions to encourage myself and leave them open to be read on this blog by anyone.

God knows that I have mixed feelings about the attack on Iran when in order to have the honesty to God that should be my sole purpose in life I have to confess that I am not displeased to see buildings around the Gulf being destroyed . He knows that I am also deeply angered by the hypocrisy of the atheistic rulers of the secular kingdom which is my home pandering to Islam which owes its being only to the glorification of a false Prophet and denial of Christian Theology.

I also know that neither of these events would have resulted if  the individuals involved at every level had not made their personal choices to disobey the will of God at some point in time and completely ignored the Will of the Father as revealed in the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth who made it clear that the materiality of this Universe will come to an end and that we can ensure the survival of our own beings only  by knowing, loving and serving in this world where we can be confident that we are always welcomed into his Church of Spiritual Love, the New Holy Family that he founded during the agony of his death on Calvary.

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

Dear Lord, help us all to come to the realisation that it has always been your purpose that we freely accept your guidance that we only truly do your will on earth by always "doing unto others what we would want to be done to ourselves". This was your blessing to Abraham repeated by the perfect  blessings and sealed by the Final Sacrifice of the Incarnation but more often ignored than followed by us.

Does Moses' proclamation to the homeless wanderers who had joined him in his escape from slavery in Egypt exclude all others from the Holiness that is required to become and remain one of God's beloved.?

The subsequent history of the "People of God" seems to confirm that they acted as if their nation alone had God's attention and Love.

"The Angel of the Lord appeared unto Mary and she conceived by the Holy Ghost". This is the sentence that begins the complete reset of mankind's relationship with God. This is no human thinking but is the revelation of the Incarnation which is the final gift of God's Love to the whole world.

The actual Word of God began his mission of salvation at the moment  he was conceived as a human being in the womb of Theotokos, herself The Immaculate Conception. The Incarnation  is a past event in earthly transient time which is also forever present in the timeless Eternity of God.

I need to remind myself continuously of that  for I am a sinner and unable of containing the warmth of God's Love without choosing to think about it for I have to self-control all of my functions as human being. We are all born with the freedom to accept or reject what Jesus has taught us in the full knowledge that "he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust".

Jesus declared before Pilate "My kingdom is not of this world". The full implication of this is that he does not support or condemn any of the man-made, city-states, republics or empires that have ever governed or are still governing the world. 

As war breaks out again all participants have to know that they are individually damaging their own souls and by so doing willfully denying the Will of God. When either side achieves a victory it is not proof of God's favour but only of the greater strength of the winning side which will surely pass away as do all the things of this world.

The only victory that we can claim is when we aim to become a person "holy to the Lord our God" and be perfect, "as your heavenly Father is perfect". We can only do this by directing all our beings to living by all that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has revealed to us through his friends who knew God as he lived, died and was Resurrected in the person of Jesus of Nazareth who from the Cross created his Church of Love, the New Holy Family.

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

For the last two days, I have missed recording my efforts to bring myself into the awareness of the presence of God. I did not lose that sense of being responsible for my own thoughts and deed that I have always tried to support with scripture and avoidance of sin but I was easily sidetracked from this my primary purpose by the sheer amount of Worldly News which has done its intended work and "flooded the zone" of my awareness of being.

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has always wanted for each one of us to view our lives as did shepherds in the desert. Each moment that passed was basically the same as the one that went before. Sometimes the sheep were scattered, they had to be moved to new pastures, they had to be especially cared for in the lambing season but the shepherd who cared for them had to endure the vast loneliness and hardships of desert life without any input into his consciousness other than the needs of his flock and awareness of IAMIAM.

By using my computer I can become engrossed with external influences that can be based on reality or a total fiction or a mixture of both. For the last two days I was tied up in the things of this world to the extent that I did not think about the scripture readings but let them pass through my being without any recorded response.

I know that I thus ignored the Word which has always been available to water the seeds that have been planted into our consciousness and into our consciences. I know that this sin is completely of my own choice and that Our Father  knows that I do not truly know how to atone for all my sins and thus not repeat them, for which he sacrificed himself to perpetuate the forgiving  Love that is his Infinite Mercy. 

May my soul, today, escape from the teeming desert into which mankind has turned this world and find the peace and safety you have created as the Church of Love. Your New Holy Family. Amen

I had no idea at all about what I was going to write this morning. That is true about most mornings but sometimes there is a sort of trend that I follow.

I was shocked this morning, however, that Jesus tells us not to pray as the "Gentiles" do. I had never associated the worship of idols with verbal prayer although I do vaguely remember having read somewhere a comparison between Ancient Egyptian "poetry" and the Psalms.

God knows that I have always been disturbed that he made a choice of the Jews to receive his direct revelation. I have always felt sorry for the neglected Gentiles. So, I have today belatedly realised that it was the whole world that was to have benefitted  from the way to holiness that the Jews of the Old Testament kept to themselves.

I have today realised that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT does not respond to "Lord, Lord" but it is we who have to respond to him. We have to know, love and serve in the secret, except to Him, centre of our beings and never turn "prayer" into a show.

The ways of God are unknowable except to the extent that he reveals them to us. I believe that the Incarnation, Jesus, is Way, Truth and Life, the Living Word that is the only gate through which we sinners can pass through death into the presence of our Creator and Saviour. 

It is up to us how we present ourselves at the gate but we are not alone in this life as Jesus hears all our prayers, even those that we babble, and has created a place of spiritual safety for our souls in this world, the New Holy Family.

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

Monday Lent Week 1

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

 ‘Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them,

You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy"

Holiness is inseparable from Love. We owe our total beings, body and soul, to the Love that is the self-awareness of Our Father, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and reveals itself in Creation, the reality in which we know that we too have our being.

In the circumstances in which I was raised, the post-war culture of the victorious yet beaten and already declining British Empire, "holiness" was not in my experience greatly admired and usually defaced by sectarian antagonism.

We were, however, always ready to spot the hypocrisy of others. The word itself triggered images of the "Holy Joes", "holier than thou" sectarians, and tract distributing spinsters who had first appeared in the novels of Victorian England. 

That was "then" but in the "now" that is so different, I am able, thanks be to God, to understand that to aim after holiness is the only "safe" thing to do with our lives. Jesus  has given us ample warning that although his "kingdom is not of this world" it is on how we live without sin, in harmony with our neighbour in this world “Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me. And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.", that we will be judged.

Although today's Gospel begins with a separation of the flock into sheep and goats , which could be taken as an image of predestination, Jesus makes it clear that it is we who are in charge of our own lives. As "image and likeness", we have freedom to choose between the "ways" of this world and his revelation as "way, truth and life".

It was a huge wrench for the Apostles to accept that the Law had been superseded, perfected by the Incarnation and in many respects the Church subsequently failed to become free of the High Priestly entanglements with this world from which Jesus had freed her. How is it possible that any Pope could read, "My kingdom is not of this world " and still wear three crowns.?

During the1,500 years that the Church has definitely been part of this world to the extent of shaping the culture even of non Christian nations, war, i.e. neighbours killing neighbours, has never been absent and has even been promulgated by the Church founded by Christ. 

At the moment "this world" is again dominated by war and preparations for war. A nation which broke free from enslavement to the worldly "divine right of kings" is demonstrating its "manifest destiny" by threatening its perceived enemies with "shock and awe".

I have come to believe that there has never been a "just war". "Turn the other cheek" is another confirmation of  "Thou shalt not kill". The early Church was inspired by the Apostles that the return of Jesus would not be delayed. This Gospel still fills us with hope, but even during my lifetime I have witnessed the falling away of ever greater numbers of  believers. 

Modern man has been able to enhance the things of this world into marvels that are beyond the imaginings of my childhood and yet we are still the same beings, created to know, love and serve in this world as we reject corruptible worldly joys and fears, seeking only to do the will of Our Father in his Church of Love, the safety of the New Holy Family created on the Cross as he died on Calvary.
