"I never explain anything!"
M. Poppins
Amen, Amen, I say to you. Since I have all ready broken my rule of defending my own post, I guess there is no harm in continuing (but that's it!)
My point was only to ponder the nature of what dictates Gods Will in terms of an 'answered prayer', especially when it involves money. One might pray for wealth, but how could God deliver on this prayer if not by taking it away from somebody else? So, here was a man who desperately needed money to provide for his sick wife and lo, it was delivered. But then, as we know, the taxi driver returned the money. Assuming God had actually granted him these graces, then the money was his to use as he pleased. And by declining the money, it can be argued that he also refused the will of God.
It was just another way of looking at his actions. Obviously, I don't even know if he is Catholic, but since he is from the Philippines, I'd say its a safe bet.
I tell you the truth, in his situation, I would have kept the money. I would have also offered a portion of the money (as a tithing) to the Church & clergy, but there is no doubt in my mind what I would have done with the rest. Especially in light of his spouses condition.
