Quote for Reflection (Sunday, September 11, 2022)

“Some grief takes a long time to heal…Frequently, in the midst of suffering, the most comforting “answers” are simple presence, help, silence, and tears…We must pray for those who suffer. God himself is the one “who comforts the downcast” (2 Cor 1:3). In the deepest suffering, many find it almost impossible to pray. Should not the rest of us intercede for them?”
