God is a powerful, loving God

"Nothing is impossible for God" (Lk 1: 37).  Lord, may we have the faith and the trust of Mary. Nothing is beyond God's power! Nothing is greater than God's power. God's power is love--sometimes tough love that brings us to our knees, that breaks open stubborn hearts, removes scales from our eyes and blockages from our ears. Mountains of pride, selfishness and greed brought low. Hills of decent leveled. (cf Is.  41:15). Humanity's sin against humanity will be no more! Salvation will come to all flesh (cf Is. 11:1;40:5 and Lk 3:6).

We will see the greatness of the Lord our God, above all gods: above the god of wealth and militarism, above the god of selling and buying, above the god of materialism and consumerism, above the god of sexual exploitation and illicit pleasures, above the god of power, domination and control.  Every politician, every country, every nation, every household, all men and women, every child and adolescent will come to know that God alone is God; there is no other God (cf. Is 44: 6-8). "Nothing is impossible for God" (Lk. 1:37).
