We are unable to believe the shocking news of the murder of 20 kids, aged 6 and 7, and 6 of their teachers in a school in Connecticut last week. The question of every person murdered by a fellow person is "Why? Why have you murdered me?" But it cries out to God when the murdered are innocent kids. However, the question is much larger in the context of postmodernism. What a group considers a crime, another group considers defense of self. Example: Syria has been in a civil or sectarian war for almost 2 years, depending on your definition of the war in Syria. America and the West generally support Islamists to take over Syria, while Russia supports the president of Syria, Bashar El-Assad. In the meantime many innocent people are being killed from both sides and others are killing more. Hatred begets hatred.
Economically, large businesses swallow small businesses everywhere. Is this not a kind of murder? Military is also involved in crimes committed by the political establishment such as invasions. But is the military force responsible for orders from their masters?
As legalized abortion continues to kill children in the womb, the so-called human rights code is not protected in North America, nor in Europe.
Who can guide us except the Virgin Mary as she leads people towards her son...This is Christmas. Think of the Virgin Mary who suffered and accepted God's gift, delivered the saviour of the world, and has been a mother of many generations and nations.
