• El misterio de la providencia de Dios es una consideración sublime. Es fácil dejar que nuestra razón se descontrole. Se pierde cuando intenta indagar en los eternos decretos de la elección o en los enmarañados laberintos por los que camina la divina providencia. Este conocimiento es demasiado maravilloso para nosotros. El hombre puede estar muy seguro de que Dios ejerce la providencia más exacta sobre él y sus asuntos. Nada sucede sin nuestro Padre celestial. Ningún mal sucede sin su providencia permisiva, y ningún bien sin su providencia ordenadora a sus propios fines.
