Somehow, it didn't seem wrong

[ImaginaryDay2]

In another thread, a member finished a post with "...Holy Mary and all the Saints preserve us". As I recall, I responded that some days it seems that this is all that's keeping this world together.

After a rather harrowing drive from one end of town to another which ended with a big truck with a lift-kit tailgating me, before passing me with a loud "HOOOOONK" (because, Lord knows, I didn't see him...), I got to where I was going and the same phrase passed my lips. Maybe out of exasperation, I don't know, but it was all I could think to say. And I waited for the 'guilt' to come for saying such a thing. But, somehow, it didn't seem wrong, but comforting.

Thoughts?

..... glad you are okay.


I DO tend to "credit" God for the blessings, protections and providence that comes my way; I think that's appropriate. Now, I'd wonder if whether God's providence is through Mary and those in heaven.... I don't specifically deny it but I'd question the certainty of that. Indeed, when God works mediately, I think to thank the PEOPLE (living folks right here on Earth) with that, drawing upon Luther's concept of "Vocatio" (see http://www.christianityhaven.com/sh...f-the-Reformation-Priesthood-of-All-Believers )


But again, bottom line: you are okay. And I agree, thanks to God are due!

Well, this is the Prayer and Devotion forum so all thoughts should NOT be debating as that's not allowed here in this forum I'm glad you're all right.
