THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE
"He leadeth me."
--_Psalm_, XXIII, 2
THE DIVINE PURPOSE
The Divine Providence has for an end a heaven which shall consist of
men who have become angels or who are becoming angels, to whom the
Lord can impart from Himself all the blessedness and felicity of love
and wisdom.
--_Divine Providence, n._ 27
THE LAWFUL ORDER OF PROVIDENCE
In all that proceeds from the Lord the Divine Providence is first.
Indeed, we may say that the Lord _is_ Providence, as we say that God
is Order; for the Divine Providence is Divine Order with regard above
all to the salvation of man. As order is impossible without laws, it
follows that as God is order so is He the Law of His order. And as the
Lord is His Providence, He is also the Law of His Providence. The Lord
cannot act contrary to the laws of His Providence, for to act contrary
to them would be to act contrary to Himself.
--_Divine Providence, n._ 331
A WORLD-WIDE LEADING
The Lord provides that there shall be religion everywhere, and in each
religion the two essentials of salvation, which are, to acknowledge
God, and not to do evil because it is contrary to God.
