--Father Slowiak . . . from here and there. It is easier to say, "God bless America," than to say, "Jesus bless America." It is easier to say, "Well it's just God's will," that "It's just Jesus' will." God too easily becomes who and sadly sometimes what we want at the moment. Jesus more precisely becomes what God wants of us at the moment. We learn this not by rummaging about in the remains of recorded history. Here is an insight that we do not come to through research and questioning. It can only come as a gift, as grace, as revelation. "This is my Son, listen to Him." Lord God, having given us the vision of who Jesus is now grant us, we pray, the ability to listen to what Jesus says.
