Man treats himself very cruelly.

In his ignorance man treats himself very cruelly. My care is constant, but he turns my life-giving gifts into a source of death ...

I gave him a memory to recall my goodness for I wanted him to share in my own power. I gave him an intellect to know and understand my will through the wisdom of my Son, for I am the giver of every good gift and I love him with a father's constant love. Through the Holy Spirit I have him a will to love what he would come to know with his intellect.
God speaking in a dialogue on Divine Providence
