Even when the armaments of war ring out
indefinitely serenade and darkness and hatred
reign in the hearts of some, there
stands immovable, reassuring, comforting,
and with great outreaching love the quiet figure
of the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.
This life is but a chapter in the eternal plan of our Father.
It is full of conflict and seeming incongruities.
Some die young.
Some live to old age.
We cannot explain it.
But we accept it with the certain knowledge
that through the atoning sacrifice of our Lord
we shall all go on living.
And this was the comforting assurance
of His immeasurable love.
