Reconciling the notion of a merciful and compassionate God with the reality of human suffering is a task that has perplexed Christianity since Calvary. How can God permit the human misery engendered by wide-spread poverty and disease, by natural disasters and unnatural wars, by human error and human greed? In this movingly written book, spiritual master Carlo Carretto probes the dimensions of human suffering in light of the Christian Gospel and its proclamation of the Kingdom of God. His reflections are both sober and sanguine, nudging the reader toward deeper prayer and compassion.
