the Will of God and the Eucharistic presence


Everything we see and hear and feel is in some way the will of God.    Ah yes, “in some way.”  For “unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1).  Indeed, to say that God creates the world is to say that God wills the world and so-- it is so. All that we ever know of God is the will of God      (including how much we know that we don't know).

All religious traditions attempt to answer the question, “What does God expect of me and us?” Conversely, to assert that there is no God, is to assert a belief that we are  free from being subject to the will of God.
