“You are angry at the God you were taught to believe in as a child. The God who is supposed to watch over you and protect you, who answers your prayers and forgives your sins. This God is just a story. Religions try to capture God, but God is beyond religion. The true God lies beyond our comprehension. We can’t understand His will; He can’t be explained in a book. He didn’t abandon us and He will not save us. He has nothing to do with our being here. God does not change. He simply is. I don’t pray to God for forgiveness or favors, I only pray to be closer to Him, and when I pray, I fill my heart with love. When I pray this way, I know that God is love. When I feel that love, I remember that we don’t need angels or a heaven, because we are a part of God already.”

“Father,” Chartrand said, “may I ask you a strange question?”The camerlegno smiled. “Only if I may give you a strange answer.”Chartrand laughed. “I have asked every priest I know, and I still don’t understand.””What troubles you?” The camerlegno led the way in short, quick strides, his frock kicking out in front of him as he walked. His black, crepe-sole shoes seemed befitting, Chartrand thought, like reflections of the man’s essence… modern but humble, and showing signs of wear.Chartrand took a deep breath. “I don’t understand this omnipotent-benevolent thing.”The camerlegno smiled. “You’ve been reading Scripture.””I try.””You are confused because the Bible describes God as an omnipotent and benevolent deity.””Exactly.””Omnipotent-benevolent simply means that God is all-powerful and well-meaning.””I understand the concept. It’s just… there seems to be a contradiction.””Yes. The contradiction is pain. Man’s starvation, war, sickness…””Exactly!” Chartrand knew the camerlegno would understand. “Terrible things happen in this world. Human tragedy seems like proof that God could not possibly be both all-powerful and well-meaning. If He loves us and has the power to change our situation, He would prevent our pain, wouldn’t He?”The camerlegno frowned. “Would He?”Chartrand felt uneasy. Had he overstepped his bounds? Was this one of those religious questions you just didn’t ask? “Well… if God loves us, and He can protect us, He would have to. It seems He is either omnipotent and uncaring, or benevolent and powerless to help.””Do you have children, Lieutenant?”Chartrand flushed. “No, signore.””Imagine you had an eight-year-old son… would you love him?””Of course.””Would you do everything in your power to prevent pain in his life?””Of course.””Would you let him skateboard?”Chartrand did a double take. The camerlegno always seemed oddly “in touch” for a clergyman. “Yeah,I guess,” Chartrand said. “Sure, I’d let him skateboard, but I’d tell him to be careful.””So as this child’s father, you would give him some basic, good advice and then let him go off and make his own mistakes?””I wouldn’t run behind him and mollycoddle him if that’s what you mean.””But what if he fell and skinned his knee?””He would learn to be more careful.”The camerlegno smiled. “So although you have the power to interfere and prevent your child’s pain, you would choose to show your love by letting him learn his own lessons?””Of course. Pain is part of growing up. It’s how we learn.”The camerlegno nodded. “Exactly.”

“You are afraid to die, and you’re afraid to live. What a way to exist.”

“There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract.

“It’s enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.”

“The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.”

“Manifesting from self-Affirmations are like planting seeds in the ground. First, the seeds germinate. Then they sprout roots, and then they poke their flower chutes through the ground, showing the world that they are about to blossom and displaying to themselves the ability to break through resistance once the foundation, or the roots have been strengthened.”
