Why should a Catholic refrain from believing in predictions for the new year? Father Jorge Obregón LC, creator of the evangelization platform New Firehighlights that those who seek answers from fortune tellers or psychics should remember that “the only being who really knows the future is God.”
“We must understand that the only one who knows the future is the creator of all time and space, who is God. Creatures can only conjecture things that will happen, as an old wise man predicts tomorrow through his practical and empirical experience, but only the Creator has certainty,” the priest and writer of several books on spirituality told ACI Prensa.
In that context, he warned that if a person “puts his trust in this type of experiences or individuals, he is not ensuring anything nor letting his trust in God guide his life.”
