Lost and Found
Who can adequately express the pain and sense of loss when separated from someone whose life and love are a part of your own?
Today I wondered if anyone realized the three day's loss experienced by Our Lady when Our Lord remained in the Temple was but a precursor to those other three day's when Our Lord remained in the sepulcher. Also what about the irony that the doctors and scribes whom he astounded by his wisdom and knowledge would later be confounded by his love and compassion. I can't recall any author I have read having written about it, though Fr Faber may have alluded to it when writing of how even from the crib Our Lord's life was overshadowed by the cross.
Deo Gratias! The two miners trapped for the last fortnight in Beaconsfield, Tasmania have finally been rescued and reunited with their families. It was all beers, cheers and tears the newspapers reported. Now we have to wait for their stories, which some say may be worth as much as $500,000 each, and the inquiry into the incident, which may prompt a royal commission. Of course this is in Australia. Spare a thought for the Chinese miners involved in probably more accidents in the last year than there are days in a month yet nothing ever gets done to improve their situation because the great leap towards capitalism means flying over the heads of the poor.
