November 5 2014 Please Protect Them Please Bless Them Please Guide Them Prayer. We are told that which does not help survival does not last. Tell me, then, sincere materialists how does prayer assist in bestial survival? Tell me what poetry adds to the survival of the fittest? How does the Pauline despair of doing what I hate differ from Freuds unconscious? How does the ancient warning of sins of the fathers visiting the children differ from the concepts of genetics and of Epigenetics? For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.(Mt 6:21) If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?(Jn 3:12) Prayer. This heart appeared in the urban jungle in the middle of the twentieth century. Armageddon was a decade removed leaving its socio-psychological claws dug deeply in the souls of the world. Technology began booming in the race to keep the sheep fat and happy. The children of the Armageddon survivors came into the world as affirmation of life despite the unspeakable hells humanity had loosed upon humanity. The ancient beliefs of family and church and village and work and government were all but destroyed to be replaced with the addiction to the physical self-absorptions of adolescence. Epigenetics radiates outward from the Greatest Generation left wounded giving birth to the children selfish who would themselves give birth to the evolving species surviving in a gluttonous world. Think for a moment about the genetic mutations going on the heart knowing not if he will survive the next moment. Feel for a moment the evolution of the mind born of self-consciousness unsure that there will be a next meal? Or, if some calm morning is split asunder by a second sun rising up as the nuclear dawn. Prayer. We witness the sincerest believers turning Scripture in the scholarly marketplace of competing souls. The most humble and precious hearts cling tighter to the Word not to find the Truth but rather as a hammer with which to pummel those not sharing the same hopes. Indeed, we watch an entire generation of children grow waiting desperately for their ship to come in...Millions are those bowing to the idolatry of the moment. John shows us that the Pharisees know not the slavery from which they were liberated. The Sons of Abraham have long forgotten the name of God who liberated them from Egypt: I Am. Millions are the children born into the world of despair. An entire generation of the entire species replicated itself in order to create mirrors proving to themselves that Life persisted. Be fruitful and multiply so that I can prove to myself that Life is... And, hence, a species begins evolving into the self-absorbed manifestation of gluttony. Ever increasing is our ability and addiction to Consume. The wounds of Armageddon evolve into the Generations of Nihilistic Hedonism. Love itself is full of Fear and Pain and Doubt...And hence we search ever deeper into the victory of the stomach. Children wander lost in the wilderness of the parents blind selfishness. The innocents learn to suck the life blood from the Garden without labor for the parents rush about playing in the fields adolescence. Children wither into their gluttonies while the parents rush about in the masturbatory search for more and more and more possessions... Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So is he who lays up treasure for himself; and is not rich toward God.(Lk 12:20-21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.(Mt 6:21) If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?(Jn 3:12) Prayer. Listen, then, in silence to the Beginning and End of Judgment. The beast needs to gather to live. The beast needs to eat to survive. The beast needs to replicate itself to ensure the life of the species. And, it is the human knowing of its bestial childhood who somehow turns survival into gluttony. Whether it be food or lodging or clothes or wealth or power or pleasure, we lumber about sucking in the Life blood of that which we proclaim to be God... Listen. We are given the Grace of Life to follow The Christ. We share in the destiny of all creatures and descend in order to help and heal and share in the Eucharistic Feast in the Garden...And, frustrated by the terror of our own end, we turn inward. Our deepest, most sacred instincts turn inward slowly becoming Morlocks in the company of the Eloi. Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So is he who lays up treasure for himself; and is not rich toward God.(Lk 12:20-21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.(Mt 6:21) Prayer. For a moment, enter into the sweet song of one heart embracing the Beauty. And, know that for which we have been put into this Garden. Walk through the Garden today with the following in your heart... I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.(Jn 17:24) Know, then, the terror of the beast. Know the fear of disease and starvation and death. And know the horror of the inevitable Void. And, know, for what does thou search? Know from what does thou seek hide behind treasures empty? Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So is he who lays up treasure for himself; and is not rich toward God.(Lk 12:20-21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.(Mt 6:21) I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.(Jn 17:24) And know...Know the prayer flowing through every breath and every heart beat. This soul has, like the Patristic Father, found the Love so late. And, know the prayer that is being in the Eucharistic Feast in this Garden.
