Christ, why do you allow
wars and massacres on earth? By what mysterious judgment do you allow innocent
people to be cruelly slaughtered? I cannot know. I can only find assurance in
the promise that your people will find peace in heaven where no one makes war.
As gold is purified by fire, so you purify souls by these bodily tribulations,
making them ready to be received above the stars in your heavenly home.
