St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”
“I have come to tell you that just as there are seasons according to climate, so too, there are seasons in the spiritual realm. According to what man holds in his heart – be it Holy Love or the embrace of some sin – so God mediates His Will. He measures His Love, Mercy and Justice according to the decline or embrace of Holy Love in each present moment in all hearts.”
“Therefore, understand that the Will of God oversees and embraces all people, all nations and all circumstances. God alone knows the hour of His Judgment and the moment of His Justice. God awaits every decision of free will. He mediates His Will perfectly towards each one's salvation.”
