The Deep End -- A Two-Edged Question

Several years ago I was listening to a religious debate on radio between people of different faiths, and none. One of the participants, a Jew, asked a Christian a troublesome question. How could he (the Christian), he asked, pray to God when sick to ask for health, or worse to be so trivial as to ask God to find something that was lost, when that God ignored the plight of six million Jews under Nazi tyranny.

Not an easy one that, especially in the light of today’s Gospel reading (Mt 10:26-33), where Jesus tells us that even the hairs on our head are all counted(v.30). Furthermore, he assures us, that not one sparrow falls to the ground without the Father noting it. Sort of difficult to reconcile that with what happens in life at times. Isn’t it?

We ask where God is when the innocent suffer; when a child dies, or is born disabled; when nature blindly kills and people kill with open eyes; when sickness strikes; when someone takes their life. The list goes on and on.

But do we thank God when things go well, when a child is born healthy, when our luck is good, when we achieve success, when we live long and well, when we love and are loved, give and receive kindness? This list, too, could go on and on.

Our constant question to God is: ‘Why do you allow evil?’ Our rare question to ourselves is: ‘Why do we commit it?’
