Book 74

Father Khatri: Chaos and faith, that is the duality of our existence, from the moment we first arrive, and not simply here in this town...... but in this world, in this life. From the moment we open our newborn eyes, we are faced with a chaos we cannot even begin to understand. And how do we respond? What is the very first sound we make? We cry out. We plead for answers, before we even have words to give voice to the questions. That's how we begin our journey through this world - terrified, confused. And so, we search, and we strive, and we stumble through the chaos. We spend our lives looking for signs that somewhere, somehow there's a meaning, a purpose to it all. And then, one day, we find our faith. Our faith that we are each here in this world, in this place, as part of God's mysterious plan. In our faith, we understand the chaos is the meaning. It is in our struggle, in our search, that we find our purpose. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding." Amen.
