The whole of the Bible becomes for us God's complete revelation of the way in which we can live in human liberty choosing to follow his instructions that will bring about the victory of righteousness over sin. 

We have to know that only we sinners can make amends for sin by accepting our own fault as such and then following the only way, truth and life, revealed in scripture, that leads to the mansions in "Our Father's House".

God did not choose to "cancel" his creation that was marred by the "Original Sin" and start again for "What I have written, I have written". Everything that comes from God is endowed with some of his  Perfect Being and cannot be uncreated. It does, however, have to be fulfilled. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven".

At the beginning of the Bible the Patriarchs are ready to argue with God about his Justice and in his responses God is very much like a human father, e.g. in the patience revealed in this morning's exchange with that "Cheeky young Abraham".

At the denouement recorded in the New Testament, however, the completion of God's only revelation is in a reality of "Hard Sayings" and the real-time finality of the "Grotesque Horror of an Impossible Death" followed by the "Equally Impossible Glorious Resurrection". 

We, the eightieth generation since "those days", have still not been able to totally accept the call to righteousness that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT never ceases to make and continue  to put our Self and Mammon before all that has been revealed and done for us. 

Dear Lord, how is it possible that a created being can still stand in defiance of you and refuse your Love? Help me to atone for my own sins and let me join Mary and all the Saints in their fervent pleas for all sinners who are mindlessly following our own wills and losing our own souls in pursuit of sensual and material pleasures that have nothing to add to life except to make it end in death that can become permanent .

As always, I do not begin to pray without making a personal effort. As I make that effort I know that I am not alone in my need to find the right thread that will lead me out of the maze of awareness that becomes the obscurity of my own incomplete being.

I can only become complete when at the end of my earthly life, the pure light of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is for me the beginning and the end of the New Creation out of which all evil has been excluded.

We are not told why but, for some reason, today Jesus has led his Apostles to a pagan sanctuary at the foot of Mount Hermon. 

We can, however, surmise, for it is a place where the corruption that was destroying the faith that was founded on Abraham, Moses and the Prophets was preeminently manifest in the pagan temples that had been constructed both by Philip the Tetrarch and his father Herod, "Kings of the Jews".

So much has happened since those days when "Jesus walked"; so much has been thought, said and done. But on that day in the awe-inspiring natural beauty that can still been seen in photographs of  Banias; our God who knew that his creation was "good" singled out one of his creation to bear the responsibility of leading all of mankind along the Way, that in itself was also both Truth and Life and would be guaranteed by God until the end of time.

The events of History have convinced me that it is mankind in its freedom that is responsible for the accumulation of the billions of individual temporal words and deeds that we mis-name as God's Providence. 

Jesus chose Peter, face to face. Peter denied Jesus. Peter pleaded for forgiveness. Jesus reaffirms Peter.  Peter begins to fulfill his mission. Peter is finally accepted from a cross.

Paul persecuted the first believers. He, the person Saul, was blasted into belief and thereafter obeyed the will of the Lord to the extent that he is able to express to Timothy his  absolute faith that he is during his life being welcomed into the Eternity of Salvation.

I am sure that God did not intend for his Church that he founded in the presence of the physical witness of the failure of his people Israel to do his will, to become as quickly corrupt as did the Institution he founded on St Peter.

The developments in both Rome and Constantinople before the end of the first millennium, however,  show us a Church  completely  subsumed in the "things of this world".

The decision to liberate Jerusalem, the Crusades, which opens the second Christian millennium could only have happened because each Christian individual involved  chose to personally ignore the spiritual calling  of the Ten Commandments and the words of Christ. "My Kingdom is not of this world". 

Eighty generations of us have passed away since the time Jesus not only walked and talked but  suffered unimaginably to become the only deed that could become the Salvation needed to ensure the Advent of a New Creation. 

We "Gen 80" can only use our Freedom to know that this is true for even the most intelligent of us is limited to only understanding physical matter that is nothing greater than the dust from which we are all created and to which our bodies will all return.

We can all, however, be sure that we are able to be bathed in loving grace if our hearts are opened with a sincere desire to become "people of God" and thus become able to return to Our Father the thanks that will open for us a place in the New Heavens where God will be All-in-All and sin no more.

Each time the Liturgy is celebrated, we return to the final assembly of Jesus and his Apostles that is the beginning of the completion of the Incarnation, the event that although eternally present with IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is also a real-time, historical event that began some 33 years before the Last Supper and was concluded forty days later.

During that time in the Upper Room Jesus, True God, summed up in word and Sacrament  for all time the significance of "image and likeness" and the relationship between that limited freedom and his "Evergreater" Being. 

Even the Apostles, the "friends" and witnesses who had followed for three years had had to have their experiences interpreted for them. They had listened with rapt attention to his, way beyond that of Scribes and Pharisee, authority but they  still had to have Jesus' parables explained to them. They could not "understand the miracles" but only wonder in awe. We know that there was much more to come.

Towards the end of his long and holy life John who had had the incalculable grace of living with Our Lady "blessed art thou among women"  added to the Infinite blessings of knowing Jesus that he had shared with all the other Apostles, except Paul, was inspired to add to the "Synoptic Gospels" his own remembrances of Jesus' prayers and teaching.

The Holy Spirit is always a Spirit of Righteousness. 

In the first reading, St Paul under the influence of the Holy Spirit, encourages Timothy to aim for righteousness by avoiding the stupid quarrels and disagreements that had marred the progress of the Early Church first in Jerusalem and thereafter in any other place where there was a new foundation.

The Holy Spirit is also a Spirit of Truth. 

In the second reading, St John also under the influence of the Holy Spirit records for all time the Truth which brings the Unity and Theology which has given him for all time the title, The Theologian.

O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you

I know  you and these know that you have sent me

I made known to them your name 

and will continue to make it known

That the Love with which you have loved me may be in them

and I in them.

The readings that are used in the liturgy are part of the completed record of God's Revelation. The Holy Bible is available to each one of us to instruct us how we have to respond in our own beings to the Supreme Mystery of Being who is always our Good Shepherd.

The texts that we use were finalized in the fifth century but their awareness of God is from the depths of time  when the first generation of mankind was adapting to life in a world into which our first parents had introduced sin.

Many, many generations later we have to face living in a world where we can both ignore our sins and protect ourselves from the dangers of material life. 

Some of us, therefore,  think that we can discard the image of peace that the "Good Shepherd" has been for centuries for we can tell ourselves that mankind has become  its own Guardian God and only "Losers", those afraid to face up to the visible Universe and proclaim the greatness of Humanity, could be pathetic enough to bow down before anything immaterial and unseen, a product of human weakness and fear.

Today's feast celebrates the wisdom, power, loving-kindness that is the Incarnation. 

In the New-Testament, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT has preempted any alternatives to his revelations that could ever be made by those who choose in their pride to become his enemies. He has only ever wanted us to return his Love and thus become holy. 

Jesus true God and True Man has a truly human, both physical and spiritual heart that is the first fruits of the New Creation that will mark the end of time. It is from this heart, pierced for us on Calvary,  that flowed out blood and water that is the infinite mercy of our God. Maranatha Lord, Come Lord Jesus Come!

I and everyone else are responsible for recognising that we are not just part of some random event in which we are aware only of our own being. We not only have to know, "Lord, Lord" but love and serve by doing his will.

The experiences and awareness of some of the earliest of our forefathers are recorded in the fragments of recorded history that we know as the Book of Genesis. 

Those were the first people to be presented by God with the same task of being consciously aware of their own being as part of the vast reality of creation as am I when each morning I awake from sleep into consciousness of myself and what I know of God and of the world today and its history.

Today, God knows, that I stalled unable, at first, to face the facts that are always the challenges of  being alive. I was "sore afraid" but unable to return to the peace of sleep

I  have, since that dismal first awakening, struggled in the deserts of Ur of the Chaldees and the darkness of the obscurity that is the origin of the Jews and their knowledge of the ONEGOD.

I can be  enlightened by the Psalm which is the joy of developing Faith and realisation of the Love that is the Supreme Being. 

I can finally  leave all obscurity behind when I come into the presence of Jesus.

God, however, knows that I am still, even as I close my reflections today, not as peaceful in myself as I usually am when sincerely raising my heart and mind in prayer. 

There is absolutely no reason why accepting the Will of God should ever be easy and comfortable. The conclusion of the revelations that began with Abraham in obscurity was preceded by the public display of pain and suffering leading to the death of Christ, Son of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT and it is my sins that contributed to this ultimate of evils that is the condition for the reset of Creation that enables us all to return with Christ to the Father.

Dear Lord, help me to be truly grateful for your grace which never ceases to help me avoid sin. Let me not forget that I am not alone and that my soul is part of the Mystical Body that is the Church of Love that forms the New Holy Family. Let me never forget to pray for the forgiveness of my sins and those of the whole world. Drive  me away from the self-satisfaction that starts to arrive whenever I think that I am aligned with your will. May my prayers be one with those of Mary as we seek your pardon for the Holy Souls and that the Leaders of Mankind resist temptation and abandon the social evils and love of power that kills the unborn, shortens the span of live and blasts "enemies" off the face of the Earth,

It is always possible for each one of us to become our own "false-prophet". All the evil that is still being created at this moment as I try to find my way to the truth that comes from God begins in the hearts of men who are accepting themselves as the sole source of truth in this world.

In my lifetime, I have been aware of much evil both perpetrated by "others"  and in my personal sins. I know that  there is no evil that comes from God and that I have always been able, although often have failed, to avoid the temptations which I have accepted to create even more sin.

All evil/sin is always created by those who follow the selfish promptings of their own beings and ignore the beginning of "Righteousness" that is "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God" and "Wisdom" that is "Fear of the Lord".

I am sure that for myself that it is my "iam", miniscule as it certainly is, that wields an inordinate amount of power in respect of itself and continues to challenge as do all "false prophets" the Revelations that, always, are the source of  "wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude piety and fear of the Lord" that must be accepted by each human being if we are to be delivered from the false fruits of the human liars who still dominate us in this world.

Two thousand years have passed since Jesus warned us of the lies which have grown ever stronger. Eighty human generations have failed to leave to their heirs the perfection that results from perfect adherence to Resurrection Faith.

We have, however,  never completely forgotten "I will be with you even to the end of time" and can still call out to IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, Our Lord, Mary and all the Saints with confidence that Loving-Kindness, Loving Forgiveness Loving Mercy are totally accessible for us who can overcome self-pride, self-love, and self-satisfaction which are the marks of our personal "False-Prophet" whom we all know and have to disown, to enable us to do the will of God.

Today the Scriptures appointed to be read at mass celebrate the birth of the last of the Old Testament Prophets, John, who was to round off the central role played in the History of Salvation by the Children of Abraham by preparing the way for the Incarnate Son to become the total revelation of what each one of us should strive with the whole of our beings to become. 

We are Christians and our Faith is the Resurrection.

In those days, the living people about whom we read were becoming the events recorded as scripture for us to contemplate in our own real-time which has been completely enlightened by those events of which today's can be thought of as the beginning. 

They were Jews who already had  a unique place in the History of the Human Race.

They had, however, continued to ignore the revelations made solely to them and somehow misused their freedom to the extent that their created evil was so great that it had to be overcome only by the self-humiliation and immolation of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT for a re-set of created reality to take place.

Eighty generations after those days we cannot ignore that evil is still being created by the actual descendants of those who marvelled at "His name is John" and by us who have never truly accepted the Grace of "those days" and of 2000 years of Resurrection Faith.
