The Pain of the World

For the past few days, we have been watching the pain of the world again because of natural disasters. Tears, faces contorted in pain, mothers crying for their children, children searching for their mothers, classmates pulling other classmates from under debris, the ruthless military junta refusing their own people food and help--and the world, including the U. S.. rushes to help--Thank God.

Perhaps if the television cameras showed the faces of the Afghan and Iraqui children more often in those scenes of bombings, or the faces of mothers crying and fathers weeping, this terrible war we have would be over sooner--O, God
hear our cries, see our tears, give us hope and your peace.

Amen
