HOPELESSNESS AND DARKNESS

There is much to understand about the plight of the suffering child.  It is only when we can feel and understand the depth of their suffering then and only then can we pray with a heart of compassion to Our Lord and seek to be aware of every child and their suffering. 

These children do NOT need our superficial pity “the ah poor thing if you will.”  Our pray should supersede “Lord help them.”   In Our Lord’s mercy we seek for them is to dig deep within ourselves and show mercy.  We must be prepared to do something tangible starting in our own homes and branching out to family, friends, acquaintance and stranger.  We cannot SAVE every child on a grand scale by ourselves but collectively we can make a difference, which will work. 

It is my hope in this series of Blogs on this very subject broken down I hope to convey the suffering child.  It is my hope to make us understand that not every child knows about our Lord or that He even exists.  There is no hope for them in their suffering and they cannot see even a glimmer of light in their darkness of suffering.  We must understand these children’s tears are not seen, their cries unheard, their suffering is a life of hopelessness. 

As we journey into the lives of these suffering children we must be open to our own neglects and seek conversion of mind, heart and spirit in union with our Lord.   His heart for the suffering child must be the same heart that beats in us. 

We change the atrocities against an innocent child one heart at a time.  Justice will never be satisfied until the injustice against the children is gobbled up.   The blessings of God pour out on those who take care and rescue His little ones.
