"You see, our problem is one of perception. You and I operate with finite minds in a material world. This is fine for grocery shopping and putting bandages on children's knees and playing bridge on Saturday night. But the finite mind is somewhat of a drawback in perceiving an Infinite Being in the world of the supernatural."
In the natural world seeing is believing--the good (kindness, generosity, beauty, love, etc.) and the bad (mass murders, oppression, greed, etc.).
There is no natural world "seeing and understanding" ("what you see is what you get") in the supernatural world. There are only what Mother Angelica calls our three little spiritual companions--faith, hope and love--to help us to try to "understand" that God is God, and God's love and will for us.
