"Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them, do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!" (Luke 13: 4-5).

Heavenly Father,
ReplyDeletewe come to you for comfort
as we do whenever natural disasters occur. We know that there must be a reason for them but we do not know what it is. Teach us to accept them in the light of eternity and as the by-product of a world in the making.
Help us to cooperate with you in completing the universe, unlocking its secrets and removing its flaws while bringing about the fulfillment of the kingdom of your Son on earth which is the foreshadowing of your kingdom in heaven.
Amen.
