Does God will sin?

From Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence: The Secret of Peace and Happiness by Fr. Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure and St. Claude de la Colombière, p.12

If someone curses me or steals from me, how is that the will of God? How can I attribute his conduct to the will of God? God expressly forbids that… But how can God will sinful actions if He is all-holy and can have nothing in common with sin?

God, indeed, is not and cannot be the author of sin.

But it must be remembered that in every sin there are two parts to be distinguished, one natural and the other moral.

Thus, in the action of the man you think you have a grievance against there is, for example, the movement of the arm that strikes you or the tongue that offends you, and the movement of the will that turns aside from right reason and the law of God.

The physical action of the arm or the tongue, like all natural things, is quite good in itself and there is nothing to prevent its being produced with and by God’s cooperation. What is evil, what God could not cooperate with, is the sinful intention that the will of man contributes to the act.

Therefore, it is quite useless to use this way of reasoning to avoid surrendering to Providence.

We must attribute everything to the will of God.

We must believe that everything is guided by His paternal hand.

When a man curses you with his mouth and punches you with hand, the use of the mouth and the use of the hand can be attributed to will of God and to the will of man insofar as they are natural, physical acts, but the cursing and the punching can only be attributed to the will of man insofar as they are sinful and blameworthy. The malice of the intention proceeds entirely from man. God has no share in the sinful intention. Yet God still permits this in order not to interfere with our freedom of will.

“All that happens to us in this world against our will (whether due to men or to other causes) happens to us only by the will of God, by the disposal of Providence, by His orders and under His guidance; and if from the frailty of our understanding we cannot grasp the reason for some event, let us attribute it to divine Providence, show Him respect by accepting it from His hand, believe firmly that He does not send it [to] us without cause.” – St. Augustine
