At a recent meeting with some very impressive young school leaders I was asked why God allows innocent people like those in Ukraine to suffer. The question was heart-felt and others may have had other examples of innocent suffering on their minds, such as the victims of Australia’s bushfires and floods, or of Tonga’s volcano and tsunami, or of the global pandemic… Events like these, especially when compounded one after another, can leave us feeling like Job, lamenting all he or others suffer and wondering if God and the universe are just plain cruel (Job 7:3 etc.). In our first reading today we heard God assure Moses: “I’ve seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I’ve heard their cries for freedom… I am well aware of their sufferings.” (Ex 3:1-8,13-15) Well, we might ask, is God indifferent to today’s troubles? Or impotent to do anything about them? For some people—not just inquisitive young adults—the problem of innocent suffering can be the reef upon which their faith is shipwrecked.
