“All I can say is, on the days when I do believe, I believe that somehow Divine Love has crossed into our reality — our vulnerability, our despair, our mortality, along with our joys and hopes and dreams — to inhabit all of it with us in a way that will never leave.”
I wasn't expecting tears to come to my eyes, but they did. Life on life's terms doesn't mean God isn't with us. We must find God in calamity and suffering. God is everywhere, even there, perhaps most especially there. I've accepted that life is both horrible and wonderful, yin and yang, no promises except of both. If our souls don't die, if they aren't corrupted by suffering...but some are, yet that corruption, that is what I would fear most, my loss of faith. I choose faith. Does that mean tragedy won't destroy me? So far, it hasn't, but I guess, you never know. I just pray that it doesn't.

Your revelation of the priest's words and the outstretched boy...just wow. I'll be contemplating that all day.
Thank you Becca - Powerful insight!
