Psalm 82 states: \u201cYou are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Clement of Alexandra says: He who listens to the Lord, and follows the prophecy given by Him, will be formed in the likeness of the teacher \u2013 made a god going about in flesh.<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Augustine: If we have been made sons of God, we have also been made gods.<\/em><\/p>\n

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? \u00a0 AND WHY SHOULD WE CARE?<\/p>\n

Pete Socks at Catholic Book Blogger <\/a>answers, \u201cGregory Popcak does a fine job explaining all of this in his new book Broken Gods: Hope, Healing and the Seven Longings of the Human Hear<\/a>t.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can this be? It almost sounds blasphemous doesn\u2019t it? Gregory tells us it all goes back to the Garden of Eden. You see we were meant to be gods. Adam and Eve, our first parents, walked with God in the garden. They carried on a personal relationship with Him. The ease of that relationship was ruined when sin entered the picture. We must bear in mind that though they were punished, God still loved them, and us, so much so that He has never given up on the desire for a personal relationship with us.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is where Broken Gods gets good. \u00a0Greg takes a chapter by chapter, deep dive look into the seven longings. These longings are ingrained into each us by our Creator who wants nothing more than to love each of us as He wanted from the beginning of time. By contrasting these seven longings with their opposing seven sins Greg effectively gives us a mission manual for success. And what is the successful end goal?\u201d \u00a0READ THE REST AT CATHOLIC BOOK BLOGGER!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
