The events that occur in the New Testament are all historical. They have all been witnessed by either the compilers themselves or by their sources. 

The Gospel of St John has within it themes/concepts that are the result of  his "pondering in his heart" during the forty or so years after he had witnessed them, the events that had culminated on Calvary and concluded with the "Return" of the Incarnate Son to his Father.

I have written the above because the story of Susanna from the Old Testament, today's first reading, is more akin to the parables of Jesus than it is to the historical reality of the New Testament. 

Both stories in the first and second readings are about accusations of adultery.

In the Old Testament "parable" the accusation is false but the heavenly inspired wisdom of the Righteous Man, Daniel exposes the lie. 

In the Historical event witnessed by John the accusation is true but the Incarnate Son again bears witness to the seemingly impossible levels of moral responsibility we have to aspire to do the will of the Father during our lifetimes.

Not only do we have "to turn the other cheek" when attacked but only the personally sinless can accuse others of sin. "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".

Knowing that our first duty is to avoid personal sin, however, does not mean that we should ignore the denunciation of the sin that dominates our world. The Incarnation/Crucifixion/Resurrection has happened by the will of God and has reset our relationship with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. 

We cannot understand why Jesus chooses to become the Saving Victim because as mere humans we cannot appreciate how the ever Greater Power of God can be damaged by the infinitely weaker image and likeness that we are and needs the INCARNATION to experience human death to make sufficient atonement for all the sins that each one of us commits.

The physical agony of the Crucifixion reveals the immensity it is not to follow the will of God.

The first Christians were persecuted by their fellow Jews and then by the Roman Empire, but since those first years Christianity has been marred by the hatred of the specific race which had been the worldly vehicle which revealed the resetting of the will of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do" should have been enough to prevent any of the anti-Jewish atrocities that have occurred throughout European History.

I am not a Jew, but my Faith is totally Jewish for the first revelations were made to the Israelites. The flesh of Jesus is Jewish but he taught us that "those who do the will of My Father are my brothers and sisters" and he did not leave us alone to do that.

Not only have we never put "My kingdom is not of this world into practice" but we have never even tried to truly accept that all men are brothers. Many of us still proclaim "Lord, Lord!" but ignore the complete revelations made by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT when he walked through the Holy Land which has been so much defaced throughout History.

We are all born with the potential to become as was St John, i.e. the beloved, and we have not been left alone in the wilderness that is "This world" to find our own way to righteousness. Yet again a click of the mouse reveals (BBC 23/03/2026) yet another anti-Semitic incident in London. 

How can there be such unthinking hatred of Jesus, Mary and John, three Jews who are the nucleus of the New Holy Family, the Church of Love within which we can all find the peace that only comes from God? How can Zionists even think for a moment that they do not have to accept the "Law" which was first revealed to their forefathers and completed by their divine compatriot, Jesus of Nazareth.

Dear Lord please return to save our children from the lying world which we are in the process of bequeathing to them. Maranatha, Lord Jesus Come!

Lent Sunday 5

We are coming to the end of Lent and in the readings designated for the mass this Sunday we are given a summary of the meaning of God's revelation that has been preserved by the Church founded on Peter.

Everything that has been taught by the Prophets and finalised by the Resurrection is about the unseen force that is the Spiritual Life of Love in whose image and likeness we all exist in this world.

God's WORD was first recognised and recorded by Old Testament prophets who are the first "voices crying in the wilderness". Today Ezekiel is able to proclaim:

 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves,

and raise you from your graves, O my people.

 And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land.

The Psalm, "de Profundis" is the total pain of the lifeless loneliness it is for our souls to be cut off from Our Father. 

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord;

 Lord, hear my voice!

St Paul explains all that he has learned since his experience of the Resurrection and preaches the WORD of the Lord for all generations to hear, ponder and accept the grace that it brings. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you:

He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead

will also give life to your mortal bodies

through his Spirit who dwells in you.

In the Gospel,  St John gives us not only an eye-witness account of the events that preceded Jesus' triumphal return to Jerusalem but also his observations about the significance they had for his God and friend Jesus.

The Church after Christ's resurrection contained within it an, at first, deep division between Jew .and Gentile. In St John's Gospel the word "The Jews" is used about the enemies of Christ. In fact he uses it to refer to the Temple Authorities who had claimed for themselves privileges to judge others and had themselves been condemned as "whited-sepulchres" but forgiven with the encompassing "Rehamin" that comes only from from God.

     "Father forgive them for they know not what they do".

Today the peace of the world is again being shattered by war that, as always, results from millions of people not seeking to do only the will of God. Millions of us are filled with selfish hatred for our brothers and sisters. Jesus has revealed that each one of us has to know that the wonders of creation will pass away, that he does not have an agenda for Kingship in this world but that we all should know that we can align our beings with something that is far greater than any Empire, Kingdom or anything created by man.

We really do have souls and he has created for them a home in this world in which we can find security now and in the future the perfection that is the timeless moment we see Eternal Love. Jesus lived, died and was reborn to show us the Way, Truth and Life and everything he said or did was to warn us that this world and our present consciousness of it are not the reason Our Father, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, created each individual image and likeness out of nothing but as a response to the spontaneous Love that is not Supernatural but the very NATURE of God.

Friday Lent Week 4

Today the first reading is taken from the Book of Wisdom which is definitely part of the "this worldly human  philosophy" that  had been developing for more than a thousand years at various centres throughout Asia, Europe and Africa when it was written in Alexandria, but is also inspired by God.

Jesus is not the founder of a philosophic tradition. He is always "something more".

He is the Son of God who out of Love for his creation empties himself to share in our material being and demonstrate in real-time how all human beings should live knowing that we are only temporary inhabitants of this world who have to live here according to the will of the Father.

Before I read the Mass readings for today, I had checked out the news of this world on my TV. It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the things of this world and to denounce the evil spouted and done by so many of our contemporaries.

I have only recently taken into my being "My kingdom is not of this world" and truly understood that that is the only foundation on which we are able to build lives which truly reflect the Love with which we have been created and redeemed.

Jesus never fights back. He accepts all that evil men can do to him. He reproves Peter's violence in the Garden but he knows that his message will not bring peace to this world for it is we who are responsible for everything that we are involved in during our lifetimes. We all of us have to know, love and serve not to make this world a better place, that is a foreseeable but as yet unrealised consequence, but to complete our primary purpose in this life, i.e. doing the will of Our Father so that we can be welcomed into Eternity.

" Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven"

I don't suppose that many of those who have known me at various times of my life over the 85 years that I have been alive would think of me as a "man of faith". My recent prayers and personal "sermons" with which I begin my day and am still saving in "Blogger" tell the true story of how I try and have always tried to live in this world knowing that I, a sinner, am always known and still loved by our God.

The scriptures that we read in this morning's mass are about a total faith without any quibbles. Even though God speaks directly to David he is always aware that he is a sinner who cannot live without the mercy that comes from God.

St Paul has been immersed in Scripture all his life but has seen the Resurrection and taken into his being the revelation that it is not outward observances but inward intention directed by Faith that is the correct response we have to make when we open ourselves to God.

Abraham did not know "The Law" but lived by Faith and proved it on Mount Sinai.

Joseph is a name. It is the name of the husband of Mary. The only thing that we know about him is that he was the first after Mary to have the Incarnation revealed to him.

There was never any necessity to have him become "St Joseph the Worker" (God does not see us as billionaires or paupers), as we have to thank God for the wonder of this human being who had the perfect Faith to accept the "message of an Angel" and to quietly accept the role he had been assigned in the reset and completion of revelation that took place in Palestine two thousand years ago.

Joseph was the head of the original Holy Family which lived in obscurity for we do not know exactly how many years as he had died before the "Wedding Feast at Cannae". 

The New Holy Family, our Church of Love also lives in obscurity, and consists of Jesus, Mary and John and all of those souls who can with the same Faith in God displayed by Abraham, David, Mary, Joseph and Paul in today's readings  accept the invitation to be guarded and guided in this World by the Eternal Love that we have been created to share.

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

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

 17/03/2026

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."
