Everything that we know and experience in our lives, past, present and future is provided for us by God for it is He who creates each one of us. Abraham is the ancestor of two great nations, not because he deserved to be but solely because he was chosen by God to be so.

God's providence is in each one of us. Each one of us has an effect on all other being both temporal and spiritual. We are known by God and our freedom from predestined intrinsic spiritual limits separates us from all other animals and is God's gift to us. 

God reveals to each individual that He is the Evergreater Spiritual Being and that we, real persons in this real world, have first of all to know that we are created beings who must "bow down" before him and that we have to always curtail our bodily needs to ensure that what we receive of God's Bounty does not deprive other "adopted children of God".

The mass of material wealth and the awe-inspiring understanding of physical matter, the intricacies of human psychology and social and economic relationships accumulated by mankind in response to Divine Providence has pushed Father, Son and Holy Spirit off the stage of our lives when in fact he is still the much more than the central character in the drama of life on earth. Nietzsche and his followers now know that they were wrong.

Jesus purified the "demoniacs". The pigs, lemming-like, destroyed themselves. The towns-folk like our world then and now, satisfied in its bodily life, was afraid. This town of pagans "en masse" implored Jesus to go away. Sometimes it seems that that is what our Church is doing today.

Dear Lord may my thoughts and words be acceptable to you. May my sins be forgiven. May the prayers of Mary and all the saints bring grace to all men and let we sinners on earth unclutter our minds so that we accept your Truth into our lives for you are merciful and full of love that can bring each of us to the joy and peace that is beyond human understanding.
