I continued the “retreat” again tonight. The topic we discussed most was the “Divine Eternity” of God. In our life on this earth, we have time. The natural rotations of the Earth give us days, months, and years. However, with God, there is no “time” as we know it. A few weeks ago, my dad read a quote that I cannot put my fingers on right now, but it said something about God interrupting time when He came into the world as an infant. I thought that was profound. Our discussion tonight went much deeper. We talked about how God – being eternal – sees all things at once. We talked about how Christ – being God, therefore also eternal – knew you and I, each person, when he was crucified. As he died on the cross, He did so for the sake of every person. Jesus rose from the dead and is still alive today. Even though these events happened 2000 years ago, through faith we have the opportunity to get to know Jesus right now – as a father, a mentor, a friend. He is truly present during each Mass, just as He said. As a wonderful priest friend said to me at one time, “It is a lot to ponder, but worth pondering.” These mysteries that we cannot fully grasp really get me thinking and through it, I find myself getting closer to God, getting more caught up in Him. One woman may have the best response. Jesus said we must be like children to enter the Kingdom of God. We must learn what we can comprehend, but bottom line is we need to trust.
