From Burke to Kirk and Beyond...: "The Mystery of Suffering"

Friday, April 01, 2011

Lost my mother last week. Will post as tears permit. In the meantime, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. has a nice piece in Jewish World Review.

The Western Confucian said...: May God rest her soul, and comfort you and your family.; April 01, 2011 10:21 PM
Mark in Spokane said...: So sorry to hear about your loss. We will pray for her soul and for the well-being of your family during this difficult time.

God bless.

The text, in part:

"You mourn now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man shall take from you." (John 16:22)

"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you." (Isaiah 66:13)

God bless you.; April 02, 2011 9:18 PM

Tausign said...: A wonderful link. I remember a saying to the effect: 'Problems are like walls that must be overcome, but mysteries are like pools that must be dived into'.

Prayers for you and your mother. Peace and all good.; April 14, 2011 10:11 PM
