On God’s Providence

In the opening lines of the Liturgy of the Hours—known as the invitatory psalm—the Church professes of God, “He holds in his hands the depths of the earth.” Which means God holds in his hands the depths of my life: all my worries, my troubles, my nagging concerns big and small, my challenges, my struggles, my phobias. Nothing is beyond the reach of his tender, infallible protectorship. God’s loving providence shepherds the minutest details of our daily life. The high eternal Father says to Saint Catherine of Siena in theDialogue, “I am constantly providing for what you need at any given time. I am that supreme providence who never betrays my servants’ hope in me in soul or body.”

The above comes from “Have You Asked God What It Is He Wants?” by Fr. Peter Cameron, O.P. the Editor-in-Chief at Magnificat. The article may be from a couple of years ago, but it’s a nice meditation on God’s providence.
