For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. ~2 Thessalonians 2:7Ave Maria! Responding to yesterday's bombings in Boston, Msgr. Charles Pope of the Archdiocese of Washington has written a blog post on the mystery of iniquity, which you can read here. It is a long reflection but well worth pondering. Evil is real, and it always wreaks havoc in our world, our lives, our souls. We can deny the mystery of iniquity, and many people do. Nevertheless, it exists, and it will remain with us until the end of time. What Msgr. Pope says about the Boston bombings repeats itself over and over again: "A story of a terrible fall, a grave wound in the human heart that leads to an obtuse spirit and inclination to evil. Jesus alone can heal and save us from this present evil age (Gal 1:4)."
But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ!
~1 Corinthians 15:57
