For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned. And how could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?
Today St. Paul reminds us in more concisely:
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
There seems to be a human desire to sort things into categories. We like binary, this or that, good and evil.
These readings remind us that it is even simpler than that. God loves everything that is. It came into existence and is sustained in existence because God wills it to continue to exist and it therefore must have a good purpose.
