From January 16, 2022

We live in a world that is filled with pain. The planet is covered with people who are overwhelmed by suffering. Wars, monstrous acts of terrorism, famines, economic injustice, chronic poverty, drug addiction, diseases, and natural disasters are killing people every day. We are impotent when it comes to making the pain go away. Life is hard and messy and painful. Hurt abounds and hope is in short supply.
