When my friend, Peter Furbacher, and his dad, Peter Furbacher and I, Peter Zammit, were walking down a road on the Furbacher estate, I suddenly noticed something and said so all could hear: "No where on this planet are there three Peters walking side by side who care about and love each other!"
We all looked at each other...paused..and then had to admit..that this was totally true. Now what are the chances of three Peters to just happen to be walking together down a road together? I think that the chances are a million to one or more. Therefore, this little gathering of three Peters was not by chance. It was by Providence.
All the events of our life seems ordinary at the time; but in God's eyes, He has seen all of them from all eternity. Really? Yes, really. Did God the Father know the exact second of the exact hour of the exact day of the exact year that His Son, Jesus, would die? Absolutely. He knew the moment of Christ's birth and death. His birth because Jupiter and and star Regulus were close enough to seem as one largest star that came to a stop over Bethelem. How can Jupiter come to a stop? It does not really stop. But when it comes around in orbet and goes in the opposite direction, it seems to stop - at the precise time. So, that is the star that the Magi saw coming to stand still over Bethlehem. At the precise momen of Christ's death, the moon was eclipsed and seem to disappear. Also, there was a blood red moon that night as well because the moon only gets light reflected from the earth at that time...so it appeared red as does our sunset. But for all this to happen, God the Father must have known before the creation of the universe the precise time of His Son birth and death. That being so, what of us who God's children? Did God see us three Peters walking down the road together from all etenity? Yes, He did....and I also believe that He willed it so......to show us that His eyes are always lovingly on us.
Love, Pio
