Looking for the truth, looking for the source, looking for the freedom
In my opinion, thanksgiving prayer is very important. We know that God is Almighty. He can make what is impossible for man, to become possible. God is beyond the time and space. Therefore, everything is possible to Him.
We can pray to God and ask for the things for the future, why can’t we thank to God for what He had done on us before? Maybe, what we receive now, is because of the prayer of thanksgiving tomorrow.
Therefore, we should have a grateful heart to God always.
Once, I wondered, why and how do we know the angels’ names. Because I think, why do angels’ speak Hebrew? Or the names like Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are named by human beings?
Finally, I know the answer after I read the sermon of Pope St Gregory the Great (here). The names are revealed to the human beings because of the meaning of each name. The names were known in Hebrew, but the meaning of each name is universal.
I read a news. Here.
We never know the name of God in this life, since He is mysterious. Whatever we call Him, “God”, “Lord”, “天主”, “上帝”, “上主”, “Yahweh”, “Jehovah”, “雅威”, “耶和華”, “Al Shaddai”, “Almighty God”, “全能的天主”, “神”, etc., He is still the same God.
Though each of us might describe Him differently, that doesn’t mean He is different. For example, there is a person A, we don’t know his name. And Jack knows A, Jack says A is a good man. And John also knows A, John doesn’t say that A is good, but A is kind and friendly. And James said A is not good. Though they describe A differently, A is still A.
Then how do we know this God is the same God? [In my opinion,] since we acknowledge that He is the supreme being, who created the heaven and earth, and the Creator is the God we know.
