Theme 34 : Deriving 'good' out of 'evil'

The Divine Providence guides the human and the cosmic history with strength and gentleness. God knows how to derive good out of evil. Evil actions are permitted by the Divine Providence. God knows how to handle the devil and his works. If the devil and the other demons radically rejected God's Reign, Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to build God's Reign. Since satan is spirit, he has some power but that power is finite. He is only a creature and not capable to challenge the Creator or can never be equal to God. Clinging to God helps us to be away from the devil's works. (Ref. CCC 395)

Prayer :
God, the Most Powerful, let your power penetrate my being and make me powerful in my goodness. I trust your Providence. May I always accept 'good' and reject 'evil'. Enable me to continue Jesus' mission of building God's Kingdom.
