Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
We always need someone to blame in any crisis, it's a normal human reaction. In a horrific tragedy such as this one and where the killer is also dead there is no living being to blame. The first place God is ‘at times like these’ is precisely there - the place of blame - He knows our needs.
ReplyDeleteIf we watch closely in the days to come in the aftermath it will become obvious where He is and has been through it all.
People like Etty Hellisum in the Nazi prison camps and people like the teacher in this awful massacre who sacrificed her life to save the children give some clues to answer this question.
