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.

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

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

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.

First Sunday of Lent

Today the Church founded by Jesus guides us on this first Sunday of Lent by asking us to take stock of what, where and who we are.

We are not the first human beings. We are also not the first sinners.

The apex of the created material universe is the human being, Adam /Eve, who can now not only understand how he has developed from the simplest form of life but has also become capable of understanding and manipulating the matter of creation even to the extent of copying the intricacies of his own brain and produce non-living intelligent memory. We are, however, the product of the loving will of Our Father and so just, as with Jesus,  "there is something greater here".

IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT is the creator of all "being" but with us he has added to our "natural body" the "image and likeness", the freedom that is similar to, but impossibly to imagine smaller, than his own.

We are in the twenty-first century. We are still free.

We are part of the ninetieth generation that has lived and died since the reset of creation that was the Jesus Event, the real-time Incarnation of our God. I have for some time been unable to remain confident that the history of the Institutions that claim  to be the guardians of the sacramental presence of Jesus in this world are justified in their claim. I am not just disappointed by the failings of modern clergy but the bad deeds of historical Patriarchal Emperors in the East and Popes in the West does not convince me the Church has ever become the "kingdom that is not of this world", i.e. Jesus' own

We are followers of Jesus Christ. He has never deserted us.

Each one of us is free to become the recipient of the free gift of salvation created by the Incarnation. We are the followers of the Way, we recognise Truth and we seek Life, knowing that we can find them in the Church of Love, The New Holy Family for "if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man; much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ".

Jesus speaks to all of us from his cross and thus creates the loving familial security that we can all share.

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

Friday after Ash Wednesday

At the moment there is a lot of fuss being made in public about "fasting". Isaiah's message   in this morning's First reading warns the followers of IAMIAM that when they boast  about their devotion to following the Law of Moses i.e. "fasting", they have indeed "lost the plot".

The  relationship of our sun and moon in the material universe has brought it about that this year there is a coincidence between Ramadhan and Lent . I know that in the world there are millions of Moslems who have rejected the Resurrection and God's complete reset of our relationship with Him, by sincerely claiming that Mohammed is the final messenger of God. They are mistaken. Jesus warned us that this would happen.

The Church of Peter both in the West and the East, Rome and Byzantium became worldly organisations and took on political roles even before Constantine's Edict gave freedom to all religions in the Empire. They thus failed to honour Jesus' "My kingdom is not of this world" and generation after generation humanity continues in failing to "fast" of the things of this world and dutifully follow the way, the truth and the life that is Truth demonstrated by the  Incarnation, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT himself living the life of any man.

On his Cross the bleeding corpse of the Son of God becomes the "loser" that is so much despised by the rich and powerful of my generation. On the third day he reveals to the whole world that there is "always something greater here" for the asking. Beyond physical death there is Eternal Life. God has always said this first to Adam, then to his chosen people and finalised his message at his trial and crucifixion.

"My kingdom is not of this world"   "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". "This day you will be with me in paradise" "Woman behold your son, Son behold your mother" "It is finished".

We have not been true to the teaching of Jesus just as his forefathers failed to listen to the prophets, even to the sublimity of Isaiah which is also "WORD OF THE LORD" Amen !

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice,  to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free

and to break every yoke?

7 

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them

    and not to hide yourself from your own kin?

8 

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you;

    the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

9 

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, “Here I am.” If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,

10 

if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.

11 

The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your needs in parched places and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.

12 

Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach,  the restorer of streets to live in.

 19/02/2026

I have always comforted myself for my lack of understanding how to achieve worldly success by Jesus' words in this morning's Gospel. 

I am not alone in this and that is why those of us who try to live according to God's will are despised as "losers" by many of our  successful contemporaries. I have sometimes thought that being "despised" by the successful in this world is a mark of God's favour "Blessed are you when men revile you".

With Jesus, however, "there is always something greater here". The warning "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own life?" is not to be used, as I have done as a defence for my incompetent weakness and failures, but as our personal challenge to overcome all the material temptations of this life, chief of which is our sense of self, our egos. 

The whole of Jesus' teaching is that every human life has to  accept that Our Father has not created us in the image and likeness of other men, our this worldly fathers, but as completely free souls, image and likeness which has the sole purpose of overcoming whatever circumstances, our personal crosses, into which we are born to prepare ourselves for His assessment of how we have known, loved, and served.

Sometimes holiness seems to be beyond my reach but I am sure that Jesus Son of God and son of Mary has shown us the way and not only instituted the Church founded on Peter to be the Guardian of his Body and Blood but also created as he died on his cross, his New Holy Family that is the purely  spiritual Church of Love and totally beyond human corruption.

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