Blog Post 11-24-2024 Reflecting on the Problem of evil and the existence of Good.

 

 

“Chesterton who remarked that the only problem more puzzling than the question of evil is the question of the good.”  [And Now I See: A Theology of Transformation by Robert Barron]

 

 

Parables of Goodness from the Gospel of Luke:

The Good Shepherd.

“What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’

The Lost Coin.

 “‘Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.’ In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

The Lost Son.

“His father ordered his servants, quickly bring the finest robe, and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ Then the celebration began.”

 

Today praise God for His Goodness.

May God Be Blessed.
