text: Bishop Tom,
  Jesus was perfectly human “like unto us in everything except sin.” His life’s vocation task was “to reflect the Father” in every one of his human acts.  It was no more easy for Jesus to fulfill this vocation of His, than it is for us to fulfill ours, whether we are in the “single state”, the “married state”, the “religious state” or the “lay state”.  He had his ups and downs, good days and problem days, joys and disappointments and finally He even sensed everything having “gone down the drain” when on the cross He found it hard to believe: “Father why have even You forsaken me”.
