When we concentrate on Scripture we are opening our hearts and minds to the presence of God that is constantly with us.

 "Jesus answered the Jews,

‘My Father is working even now, and I am working.’"

John was coming to the end of his long life when he prepared his recollections of  "Life with Christ". After the Resurrection his recollections had become consolidated by his experiences and understanding into what has become "Theology" and he knew that Jesus was undoubtedly WORD, that was the BEGINNING and the END and ONE with IAMIAM of the scriptures with which he was familiar since childhood. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not parts  but each and together ONE IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, one God.

John has not left us with any memoir about his post-resurrection life with Mary. There had been doctrinal differences of opinion even in the Apostolic Age but the Church founded on Peter, as such was not concerning itself with "the things of this world" and was still the loose association of friends united in the belief that Jesus had not completed his mission and would soon return, that it had been in the Upper Room and Portico of Solomon.

As I opened myself to the first two readings this morning I was filled with a sense of the grace that God has bestowed on his creation and particularly on the Jews. At the same time, I was aware of the horrors of Auschwitz and Gaza and of the historical failures of Christendom. All human beings have attempted to control themselves within political structures that are all man-made and we are still failing even as I type this

Even after the sublimity of the Incarnation, our World is still not the Holy Place that we have to strive to make it to be. I cannot forget that Jesus did tell us that he would be with us until the end of time and that I have personally been blessed by the Mercy of God. 

Throughout the centuries that have passed since the Resurrection there have been many of us who have truly abandoned the things of this world in their efforts to live life as did Jesus and the Apostolic Church. They have been supported in this world by Sacraments and Church Structures, but the one sure source of holiness in this world is the spiritual commitment we make in our hearts to cancel our self-will and do only the will of "Our Father who art in Heaven". Our individual sins all contribute to the Evil which dominates our World today and for the defeat of which Our Lord allowed himself to become the Final Sacrifice by the merits of which we can all become "Children of God".

Jesus John and Mary are the Spiritual New Holy Family in which we can find safety from the  temptation that entanglement with the things of this world brings to us all but only when we match our deeds to the words with which we pray

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, 

Now and at the hour off our death. Amen

In these my "last times" on Earth I have become more and more aware that I am a created being and that I have to work hard to scrape off the accumulations of human culture that I have acquired because of the circumstances of my place and time of birth. There is not one of us who has chosen his own mother and father. 

Today is St Patrick's Day and is a dearly loved occasion for celebration for people of Irish descent. When I think of the Ireland from which my great-grand parents brought the religion and genes which I have inherited, I am appalled by the wickedness which has been perpetrated throughout history, and my own lifetime, supposedly in defence of that religion and genes.

I am still trying to find my way back to the soul that is known only by God. All the prophets of Israel knew that it was from God that they had their being and it was for God that they lived their lives. 

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations

Our Father still speaks to us all with the same clarity as He revealed to the prophets, The Incarnation is the WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT offers to us to enable us to become the pure being he knew to be GOOD at the moment of our creation.

In today's Gospel Jesus tells that if we are to do the will of His Father, we have to embrace nothing in this world, we have to welcome poverty, we have to throw off the lies that our cultures tell us about ourselves, we have to examine everything that we say and do and with his help discard all that does not add to the Greater Glory of God.

Even the most sublime of symphonies, spectacular Cathedrals, beautiful gardens  are the "things of this world" in which Jesus told us we cannot find his kingdom. To do the will of God on Earth as it is done in Heaven we have to follow our Lord by completely fragmenting the carapace of culture and sin within which we hide from Truth which is WORD we can find in scripture and in the unseen security of Grace in the Church of Love the NEW HOLY FAMILY.

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

Monday Lent Week 4.

As I am sitting here in front of this screen waiting for the words with which I will lift my mind and heart to God in these times, I know that Our Father knows that I, a sinner, am sincerely hoping to respond to not only the words of Scripture, but also to the unseen presence of His Love.

At this same moment I am also aware that he also knows all the other millions of sinners who are also souls alive at this moment and whom he knows with His perfect Love that must also be tinged with the sorrow that our failures reveal to Him. There is no way for me to think about IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for I am enclosed within "time" which does not exist for him. That is why there are so many "alsos" when we try to "know" God.

This morning Jesus is ever so slightly annoyed "unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe". The official, who is so worried about his child that the rebuke does not register with him, urgently repeats his request "Sir come down before my child dies".

Our world at this moment is full of millions of parents who are desperately seeking the same relief from pain and suffering. Millions of us are responding to the needs of our bodies to the extent of sinfully disobeying the commandments of our God. Some have made Mammon their God and feel absolutely justified in anything they do to increase or protect their wealth

The hills and valleys where the Incarnation lived out his human life are again being devasted by the human pride that chooses to do what it wishes rather than to obey the revelations that were sealed by Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. 

That hill is again witnessing humanity's self-destruction, the result of the sinful conflicts that always occur as the snowball effect of the evil we create by failing, even in the smallest way, to do "thy will on Earth as it is in Heaven" grows into that monstrously humanly created evil we cannot ignore, War.

The world is, at this moment (GMT 08:59 16/03/2026), is filled with the arrogance of self deceit. The spiritual image and likeness with which we all have been blessed has been concealed by our own avaricious arrogance and even now as many of us search within ourselves to find again Our Father, for we cannot continue to avoid the inner-voice of conscience, we find only the self-image that we most admire which still refuses to beat its breast, saying “God, be merciful to me, a sinner".

IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has given us the world in which to live in holiness by doing his will. Once the Institutional Church founded on St Peter became entangled in the things of this world, wealth and political power, she began the failure that increasingly revealed itself in worldly power struggles and faithless clergy.

Jesus, however, promised to be with us until the "end of time" which he would personally declare to us when he returned. I know that I cannot be the only person alive who remembers "Maranatha" and sincerely join my prayers with theirs in the security that the Church of Love, the New Holy Family provides when we remember the words uttered by the Lord as his Precious Blood drained from his Body in His Agony that was far greater even than that  we are now perpetrating on each other in his Homeland.

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

Today in the first reading David is anointed to become King of Israel. In the Gospel Jesus "anoints" the eyes of the "Man Born Blind" with a paste made from his spittle mixed with dust.

David the Psalmist praises the Lord as the "Good Shepherd" and has utter confidence that  no evil will befall him as he follows, even through the valley of the shadow of death.

Jesus questions the man to whom he has given sight. 

Jesus heard that they had cast him out,

and having found him he said,

‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’

 He answered,

‘And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’

 Jesus said to him,

‘You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.’

 He said, ‘Lord, I believe’,

and he worshipped him

The religious authorities who at the end of the three years that Jesus had walked, taught and revealed his power by the miracles he performed were hyper-watchful and were not ready to miss an opportunity to attack either Jesus the man or his teaching. Religious Jews even today love the Sabbath during which they share in the joyful "rest" that IAMIAM took at the end of creation.

All outward signs in this world of any Religious belief, are open to accusations of hypocrisy. God knows how hard I try to avoid recording here, where I open my soul, anything that I do not not truly believe.

So, I also take to heart Jesus' final words to the Pharisees, although they are somewhat enigmatic, in that "guilt remains" even though we have been shown in scripture and can see the whole purpose of  creation within the protection of both "The Church of Peter" and the "New Holy Family" how to accept this teaching of St Paul.

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,

 for anything that becomes visible is light.

Therefore it says,

‘Awake, O sleeper,

and arise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you.’

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

Friday Week 3 of Lent

In today's Gospel Reading St. Mark records an interaction between Jesus and one of the learned and clever, a scribe. I always try to remember that Jesus, himself, only ever had love for all the people he encountered during his time on Earth.

In the first reading, IAMIAM too is displaying love for the sinners who have displeased him. It is the nature of Our Father to only love us even when we are sinners and to add to that love when we repent of our sins and in holiness recognise and return to him in our personal, human love.

The Scribe who "tests" Jesus has a well-thought out belief in what the Scrolls of the Old Testament reveal. He also seems to have an honest heart and is happy to receive Jesus' answer to his question. We too can be happy in this world when we truly listen to the WORD which we can find in the Old Testament but is Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, the INCARNATION i.e. "made flesh and dwells amongst us" in the events and teachings of the New.

My generation and myself, are still imprisoned by the entanglements that human beings have created over the centuries during which we have never truly responded to the final revelation that is the Great Reset of Revelation made 2000 years ago in Jerusalem.

On Easter Sunday we will celebrate the bursting forth from the fear of the unknown that is the unconfined joy of the Resurrection. All the teachings of Old and New Testaments lead us to this witness to the Power and Glory of Our God, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. I know that I cannot relax in my preparations and pray that Our Father for whom nothing is impossible can break through the carapace of human pride that blocks his Love from entering into the hearts, minds and souls of the millions of us who have misused our human freedom to turn the clay of  humanity into self-worshipping idols.

                                                           O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?

                                                          It is I who answer and look after you.

                                                           I am like an evergreen cypress;

                                                           from me comes your fruit.

In the first reading for this morning, God is addressing and summarising the "state of the Covenant" that he has made with his "Chosen People". He is doing this by inspiring the man Jeremiah to cooperate with the Word and thus become a Prophet, not by foretelling the future, but by revealing the Truth that is concealed within the events and quagmire of human awareness that formed the Jewish Nation before and during the Babylonian captivity.

In the Gospel, God is also speaking to the Jewish People, but now he, himself, is preparing his listeners to come to the understanding that with Jesus there is always "something greater here". The four Gospels are the record of how God prepared not only the Jews but the whole world to be ready to accept the complete reset of His relationship with mankind that he sealed with the real-time event that began on the first Good Friday and completed with the unseen Resurrection.

Each one of us is aware of our own limitations. We know that there are millions of people with far better human qualities than we have but our Creator only wants us to live by choosing to become the righteous in the being that is our soul, His unique "image and likeness" which he created and loved from the moment of our conception.

Jesus has made the final revelation that shows us the right path to follow to be sure of doing "thy will on Earth as it is in Heaven", even though we have to fight our way out of the entanglements of Providence. We all have had individual covenants presented to us by IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and when we escape from the clutches of the "Father of Lies, this "Lying World" and our own "Mammon"  he speaks directly to us not only as he declares "Thou art Peter and on this Rock I will build my church" but also to each individual soul in his dying words from the cross when he invites us all into his New Holy Family, His Church of Love.

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

The Jews at the time of the Annunciation had lived in the Holy Land since the time of Moses, more than one thousand years previously. 

Jesus, who has never not existed, became man to enable us to choose to fulfill in the material time of this world the will of Our Creator, now revealed as IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Our Father has always known each created soul as a human father knows all of his children and has created us with the intention that we should, each one of us, return his love for us all by using our own being to know, love and serve.

The human categories into which we place ourselves serve only to create false goals which we then falsely attribute to the providential will of God and in concentrating on them lose sight of our primary goal, i.e. to nurture our Souls.  St Paul warns us about this in his first letter to the Corinthians but subsequent generations have never listened, just as we have never truly listened to "My kingdom is not of this world".

Our God does not know us as anything other than the naked helpless baby born of our mothers. That baby that we all were had been ensouled at the moment of conception by our earthly fathers as image and likeness spiritually free to choose as we grew into maturity the Way, Truth, Life that he revealed by human words and deeds to his Disciples.

There are no nations in Heaven. There are no Capitalists. There are no Socialists. There are no Religions where God is All in All. Here on earth Christians have prayed "Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven" but rarely practised it just as the Jews before us did not live up to the Conventual faith that God bestowed on them.

Jesus rose from the dead to confirm to each individual soul that it will live on after the death and corruption of our bodies. He has taught us and proved with certainty that we live in this world as a preparation for a  timeless state of being which we can  choose to be the single perfection of seeing God or the never ending pain of knowing that we have refused this joy.

In today's Gospel Jesus confirms that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has in no way modified "The Law" and that it is Jesus' mission to restate and enable us to complete it.  The Son of God and Son of Mary lived an extraordinary human life, extraordinary because it was perfectly human even to the extent of his acceptance of death, so that he could generate Sacramental being in this world, to be preserved and accessed by the Church he founded on St Peter.

Each day as the totally unjust war continues in Persia and I still try to open my being to WORD in the mass-readings. I become more and more aware that we have not truly grown in faith and are as much in need of a saviour as were the Jews in first century Palestine Although I still hear Jesus' words to Mary and John my heart calls out "Maranatha" for it is only he who can right all the wrongs that are being performed in this world, at this moment. The New Holy Family is our only true sanctuary.

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