Why did God allow such pain and suffering?

I look back on the "Why me?" moments of my life and I now see the periods of greatest growth both as an individual and spiritually. One was similar. To get my Masters Degree I went to the same college that I got my BA. I used to play handball with one of the professors there, so when I returned I wanted to play again, but he was reluctant. I teased and cajoled him until he finally gave in. While we were playing he suffered a heart attack and died right in front of me on the handball court. It took me quite a while not to blame myself and process those feelings. But since that time there was one of my students who felt responsible for the death of his brother in a car accident, a priest who felt responsible for the death of a child in the Philippines, and another student who was contemplating suicide because of a situation at home that I believe I was able to help process their situation. Had I not learned to do so myself I do not think I would have been able to say a useful word to them.
The solution is to keep on praying. |
