Giancarlo Cesana, of Communion and Liberation had a beautiful letter printed in Corriere della Serra the evening paper in Milan. It is a letter that makes a profound judgement of the Tsunami in Asia in a way that helps me to see how clearly that God never abandons us.
If an affirmation can be drawn from the cataclysm that has struck us, it is that the world of nature and of men—of individuals and of peoples—is not sufficient unto itself. It needs a God who never abandons us, a Presence who is friend, who is strong, who rescues us in life when it seems lost. This for me is the experience of faith, which does not abolish evil, but does, however, attack its aspect of despair.
