Well done, as usual! There are no coincidences in this life for individuals personally or the world as a whole. If people were self-reflective, I think perhaps they would be able to point to endless instances in their lives where things that they thought were mere coincidence were actually purposeful incidents of our good and Providential Lord to bring us where we really need to be.

The challenge for many of us is that as we see things play out we have a tendency to just "let God do all the work" which is never a good thing to do. I think it was St. Augustine who said that "God created us without us but will not save us without us". Maybe what is happening now in our world is our wake up call to get busy on our salvation.

Thanks for the read!
