"From this point of view every single thing that happens to us carries in some way the mark of the choice of God. Logically we must extend that even to our sins, inasmuch as God chooses a universe in which He permits it to happen that certain sins are committed. It is true, the will responsible for this particular sin is this particular created will which decides to sin, and thereby offends God and incurs the guilt of sin. Nevertheless, if it afterwards identify itself with God's will by repentance and by accepting the divinely willed consequences of its sin, it can apply to itself St. Paul's principle, To them that love God, all things work together for good."
