Little children respond to everything that they encounter without prejudice. We are all empty tablets when we are born. "Empty" except for the stain of "Original Sin" from which only Jesus and his human mother have been exempt.

Most of us have learnt from our mother's smile and the milk that once taken calms our bodies and enables us to be not afraid to breathe in the life-giving oxygen we previously obtained directly from the our mothers' bloodstreams. It doesn't take long, however, for us to begin the demands that, if not curbed by righteous parenting, leave us to  become the "King baby", the totally selfish human beings who have always dominated this world.

 Every one, however, of my thoughts, that issue before my eyes on this screen, are not those of a little child. They are not my own creations but are the result of responding multiple times to the experiences and self-awareness that I have encountered during my lifetime.

God knows that I have always struggled with the reality of "Chosen People" and from the depths of my being cry out "Why, them God? Why not me?"

That is why I can welcome the Good News on this Feast of the Sacred Heart with joy because I do know that I am a free being who can  welcomes the LOVE that with outstretched arms allowed ETERNAL LIFE to be pumped out, until pierced and stilled by the soldier's lance, on Calvary in the Final Sacrifice that sealed the completed Real-Time Events that proclaim to all mankind 

"You are my son, today I have begotten you".

Calvary is for all mankind and calls for all of us to disregard the things of this world and choose to make our own "hearts and  minds"  fitting to receive the LOVE that is IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT so that we can find our place within the Mystical Body, the Church, the New Holy Family founded as the Sacred Heart bled out on Calvary.

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

Even though I am convinced that the reality within which we are living today does not reflect the purpose of the LOVE with which Our Father created this Universe and am aware that the Petrine Church has not yet won the struggle against "the things of this world", I also know that not only in the Scriptures themselves, but also in their Liturgical use by the Church we can find the WORD who leads us to  IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, the source and goal of all creation. 

In today's Gospel we read that "In those days", as Jesus taught and formed his new priesthood that was to "go out and teach all Nations" and liturgically repeat the Eternal Sacrifice only he knew that he would make, he did not condemn outright the Law and the Temple religion of his day. 

He held nothing back in defense of TRUTH and today tells us unequivocally that even the mildest resentment of another's being is at the foot of the gradient that summits in murder. 

"Thou shalt not kill"

As I write this there are fellow humans pressing buttons to ensure the destruction of the lives and possessions of other humans whom they have never seen. Others are being beaten and abused by family members. I myself cannot deny that I have been overcome by blind rage more times than I can remember. Travellers are being beset by thieves and poisoners are doing their evil secretly. Opponents are being vilified and falsely accused.

There is absolutely nothing that comes from God in any of the above behaviours/events. Jews, Christians and Moslems have over the centuries always been able to justify their personal violence and the three Faiths developed from God's original revelations/commandments  are still involved in mass slaughter in the region that 2000 years ago was home to the Incarnation.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The message of  Jesus our Lord is totally radical because he is WORD, the root of all being and it is always TRUTH without embellishment or modification. God says 

"Turn the other cheek"

I wonder why we have always been able to talk our way around that absolute new commandment and have thus never lived in accordance with the Law of Moses or the completion and reset made in Palestine 2000 years ago even when he has created a new spiritual food, The Eucharist and Place of safety for our souls, The Church of Love, the New Holy Family.

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

I did not read the first Reading for today with any great attention as "Do not put the Lord thy God to the test came into my head" and I wandered off into Mohammad who has led so many millions of us away from the Way Truth Life that is the Resurrection and although welcomed by many as such proved himself not to be the Holy Spirit as he certainly centered his teaching not only in this world but he himself became a political leader. 

That the revelation of his Being to individuals should result in the hatred that is exploited to justify the completely unholy way of life that is the warfare that began in Southern Arabia 1400 years ago and has never ceased is certainly not by the "Will of God".

Three Religions claim a share of the Abrahamic Blessing/Revelations. 

The Incarnation told us that in Christ everything was completed, "It is finished", for Our Father, himself, completed in Real-Time the sacrifice that he had prevented Abraham from making, also in real-time", and thus the Church founded on Peter is the custodian of the Real Presence in the Sacramental way of being.

We cannot explain in human words the event that began with the Annunciation. We can however pray for the guidance to recognise the immeasurable Love/Mercy/Forgiveness/Humility it is as the final direct intervention in creation of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

And yet within half a century of the Resurrection the spiritual descendants of the Apostolic Church had  become as lost within their own intellectual pride as had their Pharisaical forebearers and this pride soon resulted in armed conflict.

In their own minds to be Jewish was for the Jews of the Temple the "be all and end all". Their descendants are much the same and mostly centered on the things of this world. 

Moslems have elevated Arab social customs into a New Law, perpetuated some Rabbinical anti Christian falsehoods into articles of Faith and deny that it is human freedom that creates what is done by man in this world.

As for we "Christians" we have never attained "Christendom" although we have expended much blood and needless death in trying. The TRUTH is everything that "comes from the mouth of God". The sentence "My kingdom is not of this world" is always true "yesterday, today and for ever" but we have never truly listened to this declaration made by Jesus at his trial before Pilate.

Nevertheless, I believe that many Jews, Moslems and Christians have been accepted at their deaths as "Beloved of my Father" for Jesus came into the world, not to condemn the world but to save it and since "those days"  the whole world has been the recipient of that Love poured out on Calvary and it is only God who knows the secret places of our hearts.

Even the invitation he made in his dying breath for us to accept a place in the New Holy Family is as inclusive as his command "to go out and teach the whole world".

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

Today Elijah receives more directions from the Lord. His "brook" that was his safeguard from the "Wrath" that had created the famine had dried up but he was told to move onto Zarephath where he would be fed by a widow from a never ending quantity of flour and oil.

The Old Testament is the witness of those who did the will of God by following his Law and obeying the commandments that are made to individual "Prophets". 

This revealed Economy of Salvation required continuous readjustments from the days of Adam onward until in "these latter days" the Resurrection becomes the final complete reset after which there is nothing for Our Father to add to the thus completed WORD, Way, Truth and Life, by his Personally Experienced human Life Death and Resurrection.

The Light of His  Life burns within me. God knows the truth that I should really say is that it smoulders and sometimes overcomes my reluctance to make categorical declarations of Faith out of the fear that comes from the self-knowledge that I would most likely fail in my deeds and make myself look stupid.

Dear Lord, Help me to overcome the reluctance to burn through the "bushel" that begins and ends in SELF, self-conceit, self-conditioning, self-contempt and self-condemnation. Help me to achieve the confidence in You that enabled your first disciples to proclaim your Good News of Life Everlasting in the Love that is the being of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. Amen

Our help is in the name of the Lordwho made heaven and earth.

The world which we all inhabit exists because the Love that is the Supreme Being, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is a sharing of Joy and a Delight in freely Knowing and being Known.

Elijah the Tishbite had a direct insight into the Perfection that he worshipped and also into the potential for similar perfection within himself and all other people. He obeyed " Our Father" who spoke to him out of his own heart and in the middle of a famine he found water and was "fed by ravens".

We are all born with that same potential, for "image and likeness" breaking through the walls of our self-containment. We are all capable of shattering our carapace of human conditioning and recognising that nothing that is temporal has any value in the "Eternal Kingdom" which is our goal and holy purpose for being alive at any moment of our lives.

The freedom that we all know that we have is not the Power of Almighty God but it is capable of the wonders that generation, by generation block our spiritual vision even to the extent of not only disobedience but also of feeding on the evil with which we fill our beings and telling our Maker that we don't believe and therefore He does not exist.

All human life in this world is ordered by time. Totally free, IAMFATHERSONHOLY SPIRIT reset His relationship with creation by being born into his created "real-time"  and became "True Man, Jesus". For 33 human years God chose to live exactly as does all mankind. 

"God so Loved the World" is no empty platitude but the impossibility for human words or thought to capture the overwhelming intensity of this fact that silences us into wordless worship, our voiceless souls, conscious yet voiceless within the  All Consuming, "Fire of thy Love".

Two thousand years ago, God, at that moment, shared our corporal awareness of ambient, time and place,  as he looked at the disciples he felt the warmth of the sun and gentleness of the breeze, but knew each one who has ever lived, and explained  how we need to understand that the only value in the real-time events and deeds of our lives are as the opportunity  they provide for us  to conform our will to the holiness of His Revelations and thus become the "Blessed of My Father".

‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.’

Corpus Christi

This day 80 years ago I made my first Holy Communion. It was a day of great importance to my mother in particular and I remember it not as the beginning of my awareness of the "Real Presence" but as one of the first of the occasions that I brought humiliation to my mother and myself.

At the traditional breakfast that followed the Mass, I was tricked by the boy sitting next to me who on finishing his boiled egg, reversed it in  his egg-cup and told me that he had got a second one and so "Oliver Twist" asked for another one too.

In his gospel St John always refers to the high and the mighty, the learned and the clever as "The Jews" because that is what they were. The leaders of Temple Religion were rich and powerful, studious and intelligent, descendants of Abraham and heirs of the Covenants that had revealed them to be the "Chosen People" as recorded in the Pentateuch.

The Real TRUTH, revealed by the Incarnate WORD, however is that although they had somehow taken a wrong turn they were to become the enactors of the final Sacrifice and thus enable the "Incarnate Real Presence" to reset how we are to attain Salvation by creating and becoming the new way of being within time that is Sacramental  Real Presence and for this they were not to be considered guilt burdened.

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT forgives The Jews. "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". The Gospel, the Good News that the Incarnation proclaims in his life, death and Resurrection is that we are all forgiven. 

Yet, the Crucifixion seems to be a great crime against Our Father. It happened in real-time, however, because it was the will of the Father that within his creation mankind is free to choose to respond to the LOVE which is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and that He accepts our choice and our will as if it were as real as his own. It is the great mystery of our salvation that it is therefore, only as "True Man" that the All Powerful limits himself to  create True Forgiveness.

God knows that I have been beset by personal weakness and sin throughout my life but that in these last forty years I have sometimes been able to access the grace for which Our Saviour died to create. I actually do believe that at the Last Supper he did create an order of Priests to become ministers in the Church founded on St Peter. 

Jesus forgave the "established Church" that was the Temple and led his people onto the new way that condemns no-one but leads us all to the foot of the Cross where in his dying moments he tells us that there is also a Church of Love, a New Holy Family in which all the peoples of the World can find forgiveness for sin and the peace in which to prepare for the end of our being in this world. We are all as guilty as each other but each one of us is also loved and fed to the same degree. In a family there are no favourites.

                                            "Woman behold thy son. Son behold thy mother."

I really do thank God at grace given moments when I am not thinking or commenting about myself but I am aware. I never completely forget myself, however, for I do know that I have often ignored the blessing that is awareness of being always in the presence of God. 

Always getting closer to my "end days", I can join with St Paul and Psalmist knowing that our sincere raising of mind and heart to Our Father can become the offering of total self that is the "widow's mite" and also Jesus, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, retaining nothing of himself, giving out his all on Calvary for us to be able to choose to "do Thy will on Earth as it is in heaven". 

I am trying to say that the Psalm reveals the meaning of "Before Abraham was I AM" and that I needn't struggle to explain myself to Our Father. There has never been a sensible reason for "this world" to have lost touch with WORD revealed in scripture.

St Paul knew how generations of humans would grow less and less "Poor in Spirit" and that billions and billions of opinions would confuse the facts of Salvation that had been reveled to those souls who had been joined in their lifetimes by Incarnate God in the same temporal existence.

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry."

The biggest "myth" of all to flourish in this the "This World" that Jesus denied before Pilate is that perpetrated by human intelligence, in denying "the facts of Salvation" and, becoming  fixated on empirical facts of material being, thus promoting the understanding of  "this worldly" temporal works of God into becoming a substitute for the Eternal Glory of  IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT himself.

What was true for the Psalmist, enlightened/reconfigured by Jesus and confirmed by St Paul is the only TRUTH that we encounter throughout our lives that has any lasting value for it is WORD that reveals IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT as Creator who guides us into the ways of ETERNAL LOVE which we can only understand when our deaths confirm that Jesus is the "GATE" and until that moment I pray that "My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord" and that I can become a child  in the loving quietude of your New Holy Family with You, Mary John and all the Saints. Amen

                                                     "Woman behold thy son. Son behold thy mother."
