Let It Be Done Unto Me: Trusting God in an age of Artificial Intelligence

"Magnifica Humanitas" - The Greatness of the Human Person," explores how Catholics should approach artificial intelligence. Fr. Prabhu frames Pope Leo VIV's first encyclical as a modern echo of Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, addressing today's technological revolution just as Leo XIII once addressed the industrial one.AI can inform and even write beautifully, but Fr. Prabhu stresses that it "cannot love...cannot pray...cannot forgive." We are therefore called to "remain profoundly human," since no machine can ever replace the splendor of humanity revealed in Christ. Rather than chasing quick results, we should "pursue wisdom rather than immediate results." Finally, Mary as a model for us - not because of knowledge, but because she trusted and surrendered to God's will.Fr. Prabhu reminds us that true discipleship means becoming more faithful and loving, not merely informed or efficient through technology.Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Antony Prabhu, C.Ss.R.
