Day 218. How does God redeem evil? (2025)

Today is day 218 and we are on the section The Seventh Petition: "But deliver us from evil".

218. How does God redeem evil?

Though disaster, disease, death, and the evil deeds of his creatures may cause great harm and suffering, the almighty and all wise God can use them to bring about his good purposes, both in the world and in my life. (Genesis 50:20; Romans 5:3–5; 8:28; Hebrews 12:3–11)

We will conclude today with Canticle 1 found on page 79 in the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
