Awesome Wonders and the continuing Battle

There are at least two aspects of a relationship with the Divine which are eluded to by the texts in the Roman Catholic Lectionary today. The Divine is the source of the awe and wonder which stops humans in their tracks and causes great cognitive dissonance and often physical response from emotions and locations as ancient as Creation. We are linked through the in dwelling Spirit to the awe of the mega and micro all around us. As we live the tension between Divine child and human ego we know the struggle between good and evil. We are conscious of those actions and movements which are towards others and which use Jesus as model. We also know the movements that are solely for personal gratification and preservation of our pride. The texts remind us that the victors have no self interest and have willing given all, including human life, to ensure the will of the Father is accomplished. The eternal questions are not easily resolved.
