Study Group Readings:

The Five Laws of Divine Providence (2016):

One of the wonderful things the Lord has made known to us at His Second Coming is that there are laws according to which He governs and sustains the universe and guides us to heaven if we are willing. The Lord does not act arbitrarily but proceeds according to laws of order which are intrinsic to His Divine Love and Wisdom. And now the Lord has revealed five laws, so that we can understand the basics of how He operates and why. In this way, we can have a strong faith that His Providence is truly ruling all things, providing all things, and leading us to a good end (see AC 8455). The Lord gives us a clearer picture of who He is and what He cares about. This in turn shows us how we can treat each other, acting in His image and likeness.
