"Amen, I say to you, this generation

will not pass away until all these things

have taken place. Heaven and earth

will pass away, but my words will not

pass away. But of that day or hour, no

one knows, neither the angels in

heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." - Mk 13:30-32

"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the

angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

It may strike us as odd that there are things that the

angels don't know. But it's even more surprising

that Jesus--the Son of God--would have been

unaware of the divine schedule for the end of the

world. Given all of this, should it come as any

surprise that there are things that God chooses not

to reveal to us right now? In his wisdom, God knows

when the timing is right to reveal his plans to us. The

fact that we don't know everything helps us

remember that we are not God. We are his

creatures, dependent upon him for our existence,

our sustenance, and for the hour of our death too. In

this era of instant Internet information, advanced

diagnostic medical tests, and statistical surveys

predicting future trends, it's hard to accept the fact

that there are some things we just can't know. But

this reality should keep us humble, reminding us

that we don't have to know everything because we

are in the powerful hands of a loving God.

Thus, any attempt to "see the future" through

psychic mediums like palm reading, tarot cards, or

astrology suggests a kind of distrust in God. As the

catechism states, such practices "contradict the

honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God

alone" (§2116). As much as we might want to know

when the world will end, when our dreams will come

true, or when our problems will cease, we are called

to walk in faith, accepting what God chooses to

reveal and trusting that even our moments of

uncertainty are part of his

benevolent plan for us. As

today's psalm declares,

"you will show me the

path to life." What else do

we really need to know?
