Today let us remember
the victims of calamities, accidents, deaths through abortions and euthanasia.
Let us remember the oppressed by those who have power and wealth, especially
those who don’t have the resources and the strength to fight and protect their
selves. And every time we look around and see the chaos of this world, we ask –
where is God in all these? But for the one who have faith sees that every time
God allows evil to happen or even prosper, He is always able to bring out
something good out of it - a goodness that surpasses that very same evil.
When
we come to think about the fate of the victims of these circumstances in the
standards of the world, let us remember that while they may have suffered evil
in this world - there is a God that loves them and they have been rewarded an
eternal bliss which God has prepared for them. And so when He said, “the last will be first and the first
will be last”(Mt. 20:16) we will come to fully understand what this
really means when in our turn enter the eternal bliss and meet the poor and the
oppressed of our world and see how more blessed are they than us.
Abba
Father, help us to remember that you loved us first and in this same love we
put our trust and faith in you. May our will conform to yours, may your kingdom
come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We pray this in the
name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
