Tears...

Painting by Thomas Benjamin Kennington

"In His mysterious silence, 
God manifests Himself
 in the tear 
shed by the child 
who suffers, 
and not in the order of the world 
that would justify this tear.  
God has His mysterious way 
of being close to us 
in our trials." 

(From the book, ' The Power of Silence' by Cardinal Sarah)
