+ Our message today is short
and to the point! “Happy are those who hear the word
of God and keep it!” These are the truly happy, blessed, peaceful and
productive people, who live in God the Father’s favor – who anchor their moral,
physical and spiritual lives on the rock of divine revelation: the true extraterrestrial
messages that comes from the Creator and Originator of the Universe: who knows
exactly how everything is supposed to work, and work out in collaboration with
one another.
The world is not meant to be a randomized science experiment.
There is a definite purpose to all of it, every bit and byte of it. All of
creation has a purpose that needs to be protected and preserved so it can work
out as it is already preprogrammed to; every person is also in a sense
“preprogrammed to make decisions that benefit not only him/herself, but also
everyone else in the human family!”
We see in the first reading today how God will visit the Valley of Decision(s) made poorly, selfishly and
arrogantly. He will bring those self-willful and self-defeating people to a bitter
end – and it will take generations for regeneration and renewal to be complete.
We also see in the gospel passage how those who search out, seek and find their purpose
as it rests in the mind and heart of God will be happy and joyful in the
self-knowledge that they are part of something greater, and that everything
they do, matter, counts and will be meritorious of a great reward someday when
“the day of the Lord” does arrive and accounts are taken!
Let us pray not only for our own successful voyage through the
oft-time perilous Sea of Life, but
also for that of our nation and our world. We have within our power to stand
up, speak out and bring about true change where it is needed – when those who
are disconnected from their true purposes in life – forget the context that
they do exist in – because we haven’t forgotten – and we are responsible to
make corrections where we see them needed.
This of course refers sadly enough to our nation’s president, and
many congress men and women – who must be stopped now from getting away with
murder – literally the murder of millions of people who live in harm’s way!
(which may very well include us!)
If anyone loves me he will
keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and abide
in him!
