After all, they were counting on promises from God that they would be his special people and he would look after them. And so in today’s reading we hear him complaining that God is powerless or, at best, that he doesn’t care. Today our television screens are equally full of pictures from modern-day Babylon. Suicide bombers, roadside bombs, people cruelly cut down at the whim of others who crave power or have a warped sense of religion. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming and our minds cannot cope with the enormity of the horror. O n a different level we can find our own lives taking a direction that we don’t want them to. We might lose our job, find ourselves unable to make ends meet, suffer the death of a loved one or the break- down of a marriage. All would be doing violence if these are stressful events he interfered every time we that can leave us reeling. made mistakes, every time If our view of God is me- we turned our back on our chanical then we can blame own humanity and treated him. Why doesn’t God ap- others inhumanely. Maybe pear on his white horse our God is one who in Jewith a magic wand and stop sus Christ has established all these things from hap- a Kingdom on earth that is in process of being completed and that requires our gradual compliance and understanding. Could our purpose for existing as humanity be to discern the will of God and his purpose for history? Could it be that a God who overrode our decisions and the patterns of nature would be nothing more than a puppeteer, pulling our pening? Why doesn’t he strings and making us think make the world a better that we were making the place? If God exists then decisions? Is it conceivable why does he allow earth- that God is able to bring quakes and famines? Why good from what seems to do innocent children contin- us like pure disaster? ue to suffer? But maybe our view of God goes further than this? Maybe we see a God who has created us with the freedom to behave as we choose. Perhaps God W hen we create havoc in our own world, and when catastrophes strike, it is easy to blame God. But maybe we have to take a closer look at what we think God is. Cafod Harvest Fast Day Collection This weekend 1/2 October Joyce and John Elcock GUARDIAN ANGELS (October 2nd) May the angels keep you till morning. May they guide you through the night. May they comfort all your sorrows. May they help you win the fight. May they keep watch on your soul. May they show you better ways. May they guard you while you’re sleeping. May they see you through your days. May they show you new hopes. May they still your every doubt. May they calm your every fear. May they hear you when you shout. May the angels keep you till morning. More than this I cannot pray. And if the angels ever fail you. Then may God be there that day. Feast : HOLY ROSARY (October 7th) Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the substance of the next. The power of the Rosary is beyond description.” Rosary before the Mass on weekdays Accept surprises that upset your plans, shatter your dreams, give a completely different turn to your day and (who knows?) to your life. It is not chance. Leave the Father free to weave the pattern of your day.
