God has had no beginning and will have no end. The Universe that we live in was created literally before time began. For our God everything is the infinity of now. All matter has no freedom but in its Being is contained by the material limits set by our God. Science is the attempt to understand physical matter. 

Science is man's attempt to understand God's rules for matter. Man is God's creation to share in the Glories that he knows are Good. The Scriptures record God's reaching out to the World and man's failures to accept and reciprocate that Love. We can blame God for letting Evil into the Garden, but this Creation, this Universe, this Being is only Good. Evil the "serpent" is Adam's excuse for his personal disobedience. Every "no" we say to God creates more of the same evil. 

God could have programmed us as he has programmed all animals to be what they are with no choice in the matter. Dogs always are perfect dogs. Thank God for the perfection of their being The material that is our bodies is programmed but the "image and likeness", our souls, share in God's total Power. We are not programmed to fulfill a role in preordained providence. We have our "freedom" to imitate God's Love in a world that we fill with evil by the "nos" our freedom flings into the face of God. Christ is God's completion of this Creation. He presents God's merciful forgiveness to each of us. 

We have to accept this Love for what it is and remember constantly that the Son of Man is not only the "Master of the Sabbath" but also that he is our support in every second of World Time. Why would anyone choose to refuse the Love of so great a Saviour.? Let our answers only be "Yes" to God and thus cooperate to remove evil from this World.

Dear God, you know that I have nothing to sacrifice except myself. Help me to live in your Mercy and let me search "for every word that comes from your mouth". How can I atone for all the "nos" I have uttered to you? I cannot be afraid as you are all Loving. May the prayers of Mary who, fed and cared for you the Creator of life in your Incarnation, continue to reach your pierced heart and let  floods of Mercy drown out the wickedness produced by the disobedience of all the world.
