My mind keeps coming back . . .

. . . to Michael W. Smith's Agnus Dei. As it does, I keep being tempted to scold myself a little for not having a more practical or somehow more appropriate response to yesterday's events in Boston. Then I realize that this is precisely the first response I am supposed to have, and that all other responses must flow from it. Yes, I must lament with those who have lost loved ones, who have been brutally wounded. God certainly does. But the terrible statement that yesterday's bombing makes is against us, not against God. Nothing diminishes God.

O God, come to our assistance! Lord, make haste to help us!!
