If I did not believe, if I did not make what is called an act
of faith (and each act of faith increases our faith, and our capacity for faith),
if I did not have faith that the works of mercy
do lighten the sum total of suffering in the world,
so that those who are suffering on both sides
of this ghastly struggle somehow mysteriously find their pain lifted and some balm of consolation poured on their wounds, if I did not believe these things, the problem of evil would indeed be overwhelming.
From the rising of the sun,to the setting may the name of the Lord be Praised
