(2 Cor. 13, 3–13; Mark 4, 35–41) The disciples are sailing on the sea; a storm arises and puts them in a dangerous situation, but the Lord sleeps. They cry to Him: “Lord, save!”, and He calms the storm with one word. Another factual representation of the order of Divine providence. And each person, and peoples, and the Church - sail on the sea of ​​life themselves, with the forces invested in them, natural and supernatural, according to the orders established by God. The Lord rests, although He remains among moving events; He himself begins to act when an imminent misfortune threatens, which could deviate the direction of events in opposition to His Divine plans. He is everywhere, preserves everything, warms everything with the breath of His love, but leaves it to His creatures to act, with the powers given by Him, according to the laws and orders established and preserved by Him everywhere. He is not personally omnipotent, although everything comes from Him and without Him nothing happens. He Himself is always ready to influence when it is necessary according to His infinite wisdom and truth. Prayer is the receiver of God's actions. But the best prayer is: “Lord! You know everything, do with me as you please!” You might be interested in:
