SERMON OF THE WEEK
By REV. PATRICK J. O,REILLY
Pastor Immaculate Conception Church, Wolf Point
—— —— - » ... .. —
If God is Power, Love, and Jus
tice, then why did He create this
kind of World? If He is powerful,
why does He permit evil? If He is
Love, why does He tolerate hate?
If He is Justice, why does He al
low unrighteousness? These ques
tions have. I suppose, been asked
by everyone whose eyes have ever
seen and whose minds have ever
known the terrible contrast be
tween the sin of the world and the
goodness of God.
In order to answer correctly the
question why God made this kind
of World, it is important first of
all to remember that this is not
the only kind of World that God
could have made. He might have
created ten thousand other kinds
of Worlds in which there would
never have been struggle, pain, or
sacrifice. But this is the best pos
sible kind that God could have
made for the purpose He had in
mind. An artist is to be judged,
not so much by the masterpiece he
produces, as by the purpose he had
in mind in creating the master
piece. An architect is not to be
judged a poor architect because he
designs a birdhouse instead of a
cathedral, for his intention may
have been only to construct a
haven for the winged creatures of
God instead of a dwelling for God
Himself. In like manner, God
must not be judged only by this
particular kind of World which He
created, but also by the intention
and will He had in making it.
What purpose did God have in
making this kind of world- The
answer very simply is that God
intended to construct a moral uni
verse. He might, of course, have
made a World without morality, in
which each and everyone would
sprout virtues as an acorn sprouts
an oak; He might have made us all
like so many sticks and stones in
which we would be guided by the
same necessity that fire is hot and
ice is cold. He might have done
this, but He did not, for what care
God for things piled into the in
finity of space, what would their
external, but necessarily undis
turbed balance mean to Him. in
comparison with a single charac
ter, which could weave the skeins
of an apparently wrecked and ruin
ed life into the beautiful tapestry
of saintliness and holiness.
For morality to be possible it was
necessary that God make man free,
endow him with the power to say
“yes” and ’no," and to be captain
and master, of his own fate and
destiny. Take this quality of free
dom away from man, and it is no
more possible for him to be vir
tuous than it is for the blade of
grass which we tread beneath our

If, then the universe is moral, it
follows that the supreme choice
which lies before us is that of
obeying the law of God, or rebell
ing against it. If we choose to re

were our own, and if Christ-had
never bought us with His blood,
then we must remain eternally in
