RE: Tarot Tuesday weekly reading for August 13th 2019

"For my own..." greater good, maybe? I'm a heretic, a skeptic, indoctrinated since infancy with a Fundamentalist view of the Bible, but it didn't stick: I couldn't internalize it. I married into Catholicism and gave it my all, but couldn't internalize the Morning Offering either:

Dear Lord, I do not know what will happen to me today. I only know that nothing will happen that was not foreseen by You,

so far, so good,

and directed to my greater good from all eternity.

(What about the Holocaust, the senseless tragedies, the ruined lives...)

I adore Your holy and unfathomable plans, and submit to them with all my heart for love of You, the Pope, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.

I like your view, that you're doing it yourself, directing all the detritus and tragedy toward your own greater good. But I continue to want what was promised to me from infancy: God as our pilot (not just co-pilot), a presence who is with us always. Why do others know God if I don't or can't?
Channeling Lucy here (of Charlie Brown fame, so take this in jest please):

I only want what's coming to me!
