Description

Lord Jesus Christ, in union with that divine intention wherewith on earth Thou didst offer to God Thy praises through Thy Most Sacred Heart, and dost now offer them in the Sacrament of the Eucharist everywhere on earth even to the end of time, I most gladly offer Thee throughout this entire day, all my thoughts and intentions, all my affections and desires, all my words and deeds, in imitation of the most sacred Heart of the blessed and ever Virgin Mary Immaculate. But, beyond all His best efforts, we must give our consent if the plan of salvation is to become a reality in our lives. He will never force His will on us. This may lead to the painful reality that though God wants all to be saved (2 Pet. 3:9) and Christ indeed died for all (John 1:29), not all will be saved. Some may be lost by their own free choice. Such is our loving God, a God I can relate to, both philosophically and exegetically. References:

The story of Babel, often identified with the tower built by the people in verse 4, has a long history of interpretation, a history that considers it a tale of punishment and woe. The people, in their hubris, set out to build a tower with its height in the heavens, encroaching on the dominion of the Divine and thus challenging God’s authority. God, in response to the plans of humanity, confuses their language and scatters them abroad, effectively preventing any further attempts at a unified rebellion against the divine will. Read this way, we might walk away with the impression that the division of language and dispersion of peoples—activities that offer an etiological explanation for the cultures of the world known to the ancient writers—are the punishment of God. Difference, then, might be lamented rather than celebrated. What then can be said about the actions of God to divide and disperse? Is this not punishment? Simply stated, if there is no expressed disobedience on the part of humanity in the text, there is no reason to understand God’s actions as punishment. Rather, the narrative articulates contrasting intentions for life in the world, that of humanity for geographic stability (a state enabled by a shared language) and that of the Divine for linguistic and geographic diversity. The narrative gives no indication of God’s motivation, but such a desire on the part of God in the primeval history is of no surprise to the reader, given the divine imperative in Genesis 1:28, repeated in 9:7, to “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.” Indeed, the Table of Nations, directly preceding our tale in Genesis 10:1–32, provides an alternative accounting of the fulfillment of God’s intention through the descendants of Noah. William P. Alston, "Divine Action: Shadow or Substance?" In Thomas F. Tracy, ed., The God Who Acts: Philosophical and Theological Explorations (1994), p. 41-62. of Satan, “ ‘All these [kingdoms] I will give you, if you fall down and worship me’ ” (Matt. 4:9), or the taunt of the thieves on the cross, “ ‘Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us’ ” (Luke 23:39), look meaningless. Indeed, even the entreaty of Jesus at Gethsemane, “ ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will’ ” (Matt. 26:39), would seem empty.In the transition from classical to biblical Greek, the infinitive was sometimes replaced by a prepositional phrase. With regard to the use of proorizō in the New Testament (NT), we see that four times the verb is accompanied by a prepositional phrase. In Romans 8:29, proorizō is followed by eis to einai auton (“so that He might become”); in 1 Corinthians 2:7, eis doxan ēmōn (“for our glory”); in Ephesians 1:5, eis huiothesian (“for adoption”); in Ephesians 1:11, 12, eis to einai ēmas (“so that we might be”). The preposition eis may indicate geographical or chronological movement or intent. 11 Since proorizō does not deal with time or geography, If all had been predestined before, then the entreaty carries no meaning. By contrast, if we understand proorizō to refer to intention, to God’s plan for the salvation of humanity, then the words of Jesus take on an amazing depth, reflecting His own unyielding commitment to the salvation of humankind. Jesus first agreed to the plan when it was laid out before the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).

I hope you could clarify when a prayer (from this list) has ended. Not all of these prayers conclude with an Amen and I would like to know if this is intentional? For example:A prototypical story of divine intervention can be found in Hindu mythology, in the story of Narasimha. In the story, the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu has extracted a guarantee from Brahma that he can be killed neither by man nor animal, neither indoors nor outdoors, neither during the day nor during the night. Feeling invulnerable, Hiraṇyakaśipu begins to persecute devotees of Vishnu, whom he hates. A Vaishnavite boy named Prahlāda prays to Vishnu for help. Vishnu hears his prayer and manifests himself as Narasimha (half-man, half-lion) and rips Hiraṇyakaśipu apart in a doorway (neither indoors nor outdoors) at dusk (neither during the day nor during the night). See Rom. 3:26; 4:11; 4:16; 15:16; 1 Cor. 10:6; Eph. 1:12; James 1:18 for uses of eis to einai, all of which indicate intention or intended result, not predetermined result. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me. Amen. Both words are very common in modern Greek. The verb proorizō is used primarily of parents making plans for their children. 2 For example, a couple may want their son to become a doctor. To facilitate this goal, they might send him from an early age to the best schools, put money aside for his education, hire private tutors for afterschool tutorials, limit his free time, or even curb his social interactions. When parents do this, Greeks would say that they are proorizō the son to be a doctor. This is their intention.
