Terrorists

The news report everyday about a new area in the world that suffers death and destruction due to terrorists.  Terrorists thrive on creating fear and chaos instead of love and hope. 

"Meology vs. Theology"is a term I heard on a religious program. Collectively we have lost our connection to the origin of life.  God is our creator, our source for all that is good and just. Without God, we focus in on ourselves as our own center of the universe with our own ideas of what is important in our world.  We become victims of Meology, where our goals and rights have precedence over others.  How do we fabricate the right to kill, main, destroy and cause devastation to other human beings? How can we dismiss the pain of others who are not as fortunate as we are?

This is not from God.  

My prayers and empathy are with those who are suffering not just because of natural disasters, but especially for those who experience a man-made hardships that had no cause except for the selfishness and enraged behavior of madmen. I can't imagine the horror of experiencing either man-made or natural catastrophes. My wish for all those affected by these horrible situations is to find God in the midst of your suffering and allow Him to take on your burdens.

"Place your heart gently in the the Lord's wounds.  Have great confidence in His mercy for He will never abandon you."   Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
