Opatrzność Boża – teologia i doświadczenie duchowe

Abstract

God reveals Himself to man in a variety of forms. The form that is most available and at the same time most needed by the Creation is His revelation in His careful protection of it. Theologians explain the source of such revelation with His love and His desire for good. Encountering the difficulty connected with reconciling the Divine Providence with the existence of evil in the world scholars explain that God respects the freedom of man, who may refrain from choosing good; and then God may allow the affliction of evil for didactic reasons – the experience of evil should incline the Creation to reject it and to choose good. God’s kindness revealed to man makes man entrust himself to God and follow Him in His protective actions as well as publicly worship Him in the Church’s liturgical prayer.
