Finding Peace in the Storm<br />

only “conservative” and “liberal” scheming both within<br />

and outside the Church, and we fail to see the presence<br />

of God in our midst, we can easily fall into wrath and<br />

despair and the wailing and gnashing of teeth.<br />

If we would but lift our eyes above the fray and ask,<br />

“What are You doing, Lord?” and “How can I join<br />

You?,” we will instead become lights in the darkness.<br />

We will be, like this monk, a means of healing and witnesses<br />

to the holy and transcendent peace that comes<br />

when we truly know God. And others will be drawn<br />

to this authentic relationship with the One who, in all<br />

things, seeks to heal and restore all that is truly good.<br />
