The editorial by Father Peter John Cameron, O.P. says,
We are not God's "business partners" and we are certainly not God's equals in any way. If we were, He would not be God at all. God is not a magic 8 ball for us to manipulate and control to suit our quest for knowledge alone; even knowledge of ourselves. We were created, as the Baltimore Catechism tells us,
"The Holy Father goes on to explain that we worship God 'by dropping the fiction of a realm in which we could face Him as independent business partners, whereas in truth we can only exist at all in Him and from Him.'"
to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.
I can't believe tomorrow is the one-year anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you would visit a recent post on Pope John Paul on my blog, Part IV in my series. I would really like for you to leave your memories of John Paul there so that I can have a collection of other peoples' memories of him.
