5002. About the ages of people's lives, why they live long or not long
The lives of all people are foreseen by the Lord: how long they are going to live and how. On this account their lives are guided from earliest infancy to life continuing on to eternity, so that the Lord's Providence begins from earliest infancy.
5002. CONCERNING THE DURATIONS OF THE LIFE OF MEN: WHY SOME LIVE LONG, AND SOME NOT LONG.
The life of every man is foreseen by the Lord, as to how long he will live, and in what manner; wherefore he is directed from earliest infancy with a regard to a life to eternity. The Providence of the Lord, therefore, commences from earliest infancy.
5002. De aetatibus vitae hominum, cur diu et non diu vivant
