How
is God the Father Present in Our Lives?
Consider: Which came first? God the Father or science? The chicken or the egg?
Consider: There is a very dangerous intersection
by a church where I live. The side
street intersects with a two–lane main street.
Directly across from the side street is the entrance to the church
parking lot. The tendency of people in
the area is to stop at the intersecting street, wait for a clear road and then
shoot across the main street into the parking lot.
One night, I was about
to do the same thing when I suddenly heard, “This is where We [or I, I cannot
honestly remember which word was used] take over.” The next thing I knew, the car was being
driven for me up and over the road and the car was then gently set down in the
parking lot. Jesus was the driver of
course. “Thank you, Jesus!” I cannot remember why I thought it would be
safe to cross the road at that point but I do have an impression of a lot of
traffic when the car was driven over the road. “Thank you, Jesus.” I don’t use that route into the parking lot
any more.
Consider: The popular expression “Beam me up,
Scotty” from the Star Trek television series.
Where did the series’ creator come up with the idea of a human being
creating a transporter machine that would take that human being from one point
to another?
Answer
to all questions: God the
Father. For it is He Who inspires human
beings to try and imitate Him. The thing
is, we must recall St. Michael the Archangel, whose name means “Who would be
God?” and realize that we are in God’s world, not He in ours. And when we try and re-create what God has
shown to us as His creation, we are using human being thinking. And then there are the angels, who are more
intelligent than we are. And then there
is Jesus, Who has His own way of thinking.
The Three Kings
It is told that if you display the Three Kings above the front door inside your home, you will always be able to meet your financial obligations.
You will not have an over abundance but will have what is needed to meet your obligations.
It is also told that your spiritual, emotional, and physical needs will be met.
Place the Three Kings over your door and see these things come about over time.
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael, the Archangel, walk with us. Be our protector and our guide. Show us our temptations and lead us away from them.
St. Michael, whose name means "Who is like God?", protect us from those who would be like God. Help us to remember Jesus before Pilate when those who would be like God tell us that they have power over us, and remind us to tell these human beings that they have no power over us, only God, our Father, has power over us.
St. Michael, please protect those human beings who would be like God, who believe they have power over others. Guide them to Jesus, and guide them safely back to God's ways of holiness. Amen.
Guardian Angels Prayer
May the Angels guide you and guard you through this His good night, 'til dawn's first light, when you may awake and begin your day anew. Amen.
