Well worth pondering …

… If God is With Us - The Catholic Thing.

It was only one generation ago that the seeming unbreakable stranglehold of communism over this part of the world came to an abrupt and unexpected end in the events of 1989 and following. And the martyrs of Auschwitz are today venerated as reminders of hope and goodness even in the midst of unspeakable evil. The history of this place is full of reminders that salvation comes, not in the empty promises of ideologies, not from the powerful of the world, but from the One who subjected Himself to death and who calls us each to follow Him up Calvary.
