In front of suffering

 

In front of suffering, we can only bow our head. May it not be out of despair but with a hopeful and trusting surrender to the Mystery that surpasses the best human reasoning.
In front of suffering, the only response is silence. Words are stale. They might even be downright insulting.
In front of suffering the tears in our eyes are a sign of wisdom of the folly of pride and self-sufficiency. There is a Truth that is beyond us.

What worries me

I am not afraid of my weaknesses because they enable me to turn to God.
I am more worried of my pride because it blinds me into thinking that I can do without God.
