A common question when we experience various kinds of suffering (pain, injustice, evil, disappointment etc.) is: How can God be all-powerful and all good and allow me to go through this suffering? Holy Week gives us the opportunity to examine an underlying belief, which might need to be challenged, if we are open to it.
A common question over the centuries, for those who believe in the existence of God and that he is the source of all being and is entirely good, has been: Then why does he allow evil and suffering?
If one were to go by the commercial advertisements, Christmas is only for those who can afford it or whose lives are ‘together’ and filled with success and happiness. It’s for those who can afford to buy good food & drinks, decorate their homes fancifully, buy expensive gifts for one another and throw extravagant parties.
