Raymond, this was so comforting to read. You are really touching a chord. As I have said numerous times to my dear husband, it is not calming for me to read soothing articles from parties who will not acknowledge how bad things are right now. I can't take heart at from their proffered encouragement if we do not start by looking at the same reality; on the contrary, their outlook only makes me more anxious because I am distressed that crucial aspects of out times are not being acknowledged. However it is calming, focusing, and invigorating for me to hear a Catholic calling out that this is not beyond Our Master's care, that His love remains constant, that He is here.
