Was reading the story of Passover from the Bible to my daughter when I thought:
Why did the angel of death need a sign on the doorposts of Israeli homes to pass them over? Couldn't the deadly and mighty angel coming to kill the first born of Egypt have figured that out himself??
Wasn't that an indication that the Lord in His wisdom requires our participation, our responses, our acts - in the fulfillment of His Divine plans?
Wasn't that act a shadow of the sacraments to come in the New Israel, the Church?
