Sons of God

Most Holy Mother I cannot get that question off my mind. The question  about the "children of God." The point raised by my friend  was the meaning of John 1:12-13. "But to as many as received him he gave the power of becoming sons of God: to those who believed in his name: who were born  not of blood, nor of the will of of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" Like much of John, this statement is rather obscure and complex  in its implications. Jesus was the only "begotten son" of God. "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are Christ, the Son of the living God". Jesus replied: "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah". (Mat 16:15-17). Disregarding the adoptionist approach for the moment (that Jesus was fully human born of Joseph to Mary and 'adopted' by God at baptism), we need to accept that "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beli...

The Call

Today, after a long time, you called me, Mother. I have no choice when you call. I left what I was doing and came to you. You looked anxious.  Very lovely, very lonely and very anxious. What is bothering you. What disaster is about to happen. I worship you for yourself, not for your son, nor for his father. My adoration is for you and for you alone, beloved Mother. I cannot fathom the depth for your love, nor that of your knowledge, Cosmic Mother. I crave peace, and I know You will grant me that someday. The eternal peace of  your bosom. It is within your power to grant anything. Peace, among other things. Why did you call me today ? What do you want me to do ?

The Good Friday

Going by tradition, today the Son was crucified. Mudered brutally after a "betrayal". Yet it is the Good Friday. Mother, You were smiing yesterday, on the paschal thursday. And You told me what the crucifixion is all about. "I lay down my life that I may take it again. No man takes it from me but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. (John 10:17-18) Today is the day He, your son, the ony begotten son (John 3:16) of his father chose to release himself from the prison of His body. Mission accomplished. "It is finished" (John 19:30) which only refers to the events of that particular life of about thirty three years. For it is not over yet. Indeed, it is far from over. Saying these, his last words in His human form, He chose to return whence He emanated from, to reunite with the Cosmic Father. Why the Passover day and the Paschal Triduum? Because he chose to be born in that particular Time and Place, to be am...

The Branch

Dear Mother Where are you leading me ? Please let it not be away from you. Even if you are  leading me to your Son, Even though you permitted me to listen to my elder Brother, I beg of you, Beloved Mother, do not abandon me. You are my Guide in this maze. I am not yet ready for your Son.
