Here’s the rub: We simply don’t like the idea that the reason for God’s choices resides wholly within God. We want to account for His decision. We want to explain it, to rationalize it, to provide grounds and warrant for it. We want to be able to point to “factor A, or datum B, or issue C” in something other than God or preferably to “characteristic X, or virtue Y, or work Z” in us. We want to point to this quality or that personality trait or some accomplishment in one that isn’t in another as the grounds for God’s decision.

Heat the fat in a heavy-based pan, add the onion and garlic and fry gently
until golden - about 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stock, sugar and salt
and pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, then lower the heat
and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Puree in an electric blender and
then sieve (strain), or press mixture through a sieve (strainer). Return
the soup to the rinsed-out pan and bring to the boil again. Add the
vermicelli and cook for 6 to 10 minutes until pasta is tender yet firm to
the bite. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately with freshly made
croutons.
