God is pleased to make use of us, but we do Him disservice much more than we do Him service, because without us the goal would certainly be better attained.

If our Lord expressed this sentiment of homage and gratitude for owing all things to His Father, how much more ought we, who are so inferior to Him, be in that continual realization of owing all things to God. * 15:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 143), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Therefore we have two profound connections with God: a relation both as a creature and as a redeemed creature, which of course implies that we are sinners. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 138), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Otherwise, we are tired before we start. We cannot compare time and eternity. Eternity is not a time, it is something else: fortunately for the elect!

...Eternity is above time. There is no time in eternity. Eternity is like a point, an instant which lasts forever.

It is very difficult, obviously. For us, there is always a past, a present and a future. So how can we conceive of eternity, that instant which always is? That seems inconceivable. And yet it is so. We are always trying to put God inside a time, for example with reference to Creation. If Creation had a beginning, it would seem that something began in God. Well no, that is false. Nothing began in God.
