Welcome to Call to Decision
American Minute with Bill Federer
December 27
An attack of smallpox when he was four-years-old left him with
crippled hands and poor eyesight.
Overcoming those handicaps, he studied Copernicus' works and at
age
23 became a professor of astronomy.
His name was Johannes Kepler, born DECEMBER 27, 1571.
His laws of planetary motion, known as Kepler's Laws, helped
Newton
formulate the theory of gravity.
In his work, "The Harmonies of the World," book five,
Kepler stated:
"O, Almighty God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after
Thee!...The book
is written, to be read either now or by posterity, I care not
which.
It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited
six
thousand years for an observer."
In comparing celestial orbits of the planets with polyphonic
harmonies in music, Kepler wrote:
"Holy Father, keep us safe in the concord of our love for one
another, that we may be one just as Thou art with Thy Son, Our
Lord,
and with the Holy Ghost, and just as through the sweetest bonds of
harmonies Thou hast made all Thy works one,"
Kepler continued:
"and that from the bringing of Thy people into concord, the
body of
Thy Church may be built up in the Earth, as Thou didst erect the
heavens themselves out of harmonies."
