Even though I do not understand the reasons for
suffering, I believe that you are a God of love, a God of
compassion. I pray that you will be with all those this
day that are in pain, who suffer silently and alone, who
feel abandoned and left by the side of life's road. Wrap
your arms of grace around them, until they know they
are safely held in your embrace.
There is no life without death, and the accompanying
grief that is natural to the experience of death in all its
forms. But there is no death apart from the possibility
of new life and transformation.
The human experience of the apparent abandonment
of God and the grief and even despair that are a part of
that experience are very real for many people. Finding
the courage to accept loss and death, and to enter into
the grief they bring, is a sacramental act that allows us
to participate in the deeper truth that, although evil and
death are real, they are not ultimate.
