"Anger and anguish, it is hard to cope with the emotional overload. The sense of loss, the sense of frustration. War in the distance, tragedy close to home. How do we recover? How do we cope? I have no easy answers, but I can share one invitation to all who have a spiritual heart: don’t doubt the love that may be hidden but is always present in every sorrow. Behind the tears, despite the anger, love remains. Love endures. Love for the lives lost on the battlefield, love for the innocent taken without warning. One day even all of this will be redeemed in ways we cannot imagine. But for now, trust the power of love to do what we do not seem to be able to do for ourselves: end the madness and begin the healing."
--The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, Native American/Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church
