"Keeps them in...To clarify a comment I made: <br />"Keeps them in existence... hmmm..." <br /><br />I meant that not as in doubt; rather, as in Better Watch It! Along the lines of Bill Cosby with his TV kids, God brought us into this world, and He can take us out...! Bill knew he couldn't do that of course. He was just getting in their heads :) . However, God really can...<br /><br />And that this has a part in the theology of Aquinas, with Latin references, too, sort of makes it official :) . <br /><br />I'm so glad you said further that, "God created us, re-created us in Christ, and holds us in existence! Lovely, uh?" Yes ! and stunning to really know it and to think of it.aspiring...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825316824097996382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-40999700045849278912009-07-07T19:57:47.715-05:002009-07-07T19:57:47.715-05:00I'm a little overwhelmed with all these homili...I'm a little overwhelmed with all these homilies you're suddenly posting.....kinda got used to one every 2 weeks...or so.<br /><br />:-)MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-605634452026050322009-07-07T12:39:44.499-05:002009-07-07T12:39:44.499-05:00Aspiring,

God created us, re-created us in Christ, and holds us in existence! Lovely, uh?Fr.

So much here is provoking. Very...Thank you, Father. So much here is provoking. Very well crafted, too - and this, coming from one burdened with a sometimes painful tendency toward logic and comprehensiveness in this beautiful world of faith. <br /><br />I sorely lack for time at the moment. But... <br /><br />This is provoking: <br />"...God, who through the Word creates all things and keeps them in existence..." <br />Keeps them in existence... hmmm...<br /><br />This affects my whole-picture view as well as my intentioned devotions this month. It's 'whole' somehow and, best yet, it's concise. Thank you: <br />"...words and deeds that accomplish God's plan for salvation are done and spoken only when the human work of charity is done in the light of truth..." <br />(And perhaps the work of truth offered in the light of charity, too?)<br />It also happens to be the answer to a personal situation of discord. Well, it's not the answer per se but it's a timely door opened to the answer. Now, to walk through it :) ! <br /><br />This is serious I know, but it's also a... well, it's a hoot given a willing imagination:<br />"...Compromise, political favor, and trendy causes nail the just tongue to a stubborn jaw..." <br /><br />Oh! Out of time... there's so much much more in your homily... Again, thank you, Father.
