The Bible infant gospels (when Jesus wass born) referring to St Joseph, Mary and Jesus reminds us of the temptation and the grace in the experience of the Holy Family. When Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant despite not having personal relations yet, that is time for resentment. And yet when he learned from his dreams that Mary would be the mother of the Messiah, he was grateful. And it was the season for tragedy, they had to flee to Egypt to escape the murdering soldiers of Herod, the temptation is that of resentment. The grace that we must acquire is that of generosity.
It is very timely because of this difficult times. As with the Sendong typhoon, many blaming and cursing and breast beating is taking place, ie resentment. May be even resentment vs God for bringing in the rains and the flood. But who are we to blame God? May be we are to be blamed for this disaster. The flood was, as we learned from the analysis, a disaster waiting to happen.
But we are glad, many are endowned with grace of generosity. A lot of them are working hard to bring the city and its residents back to dignity. Thank you
