"It is Completed"

Guess now we'll see what redemption the Pharisees have bought themselves. Death by judicial decree. Wow.

For some reason I'm remembering an episode of The Twilight Zone (as in the original, not the current knockoff) with Burgess Meredith (those with him were always my favorites) as a lone faithful man being condemned by society as "obsolete" for his faith in God rather than the State and the "Law" I suppose. He was being chided by his chief accuser who was gloating in his victory of having him declared obsolete and therefore disposable. He and Meredith's character were still debating the human condition and faith's place in it. I don't remember the details, but somehow Meredith had the accuser trapped with him in his apartment in which he was going to be executed (bomb, gas, something). Upon learning of his entrapment, the accuser freaked and begged Meredith to free him "in the name of God." "In the name of God, yes I will let you free," was the response. Meredith meets his fate and the accuser faces his own charges, and probable execution, of obsolescence for crying out to God for his freedom. Faith in humanism leads to physical and soulish death is the radical (by today's standards) moral of that old Rod Serling story. Geez, I miss him.

Terri Shiavo was obsolete to the Pharisees. Terri Shiavo was obsolete to her so-called husband. Terri Shiavo was never obsolete to God or the love of her parents. In this great evil that was perpetrated by the Law, will come a greater good of reigning in the Law is my prayer today. The Law is intended to bring wrath upon evildoers is the purpose of the Law. It's purpose was perverted in this case so needs correction. Prayers for the Schindler's comfort in this dark time and wisdom to finally come to Michael Shiavo, Pharisee Greer, et. al. go without saying.
