12/16, Third Wednesday of Advent
The Lord will come and he will not
delay.
He will illumine what is hidden in
darkness
and reveal himself to all the nations.
I cannot help it, I must link this to
today's first reading (Isaiah 45: 6-8, 18, 21-25). "I am the Lord, there is no
other..." God reveals Himself to us
if we but look and do not close our eyes.
This is why I cannot understand scientists and other
"intellectuals" who reject God.
The intricacies and perfectness of nature cannot be explained by mere
chance. There must be a plan. In philosophical terms, there must be a First
Cause. After all (in a poor attempt to
summarize Aquinas), whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another,
this cannot be something like itself for that would create an infinite regress,
so there must be a First Mover (Cause), and that is God. If we returned to the basics of education,
there would be less doubt about the existence of God, the One who illumines the darkness.
