Sadly, the continuing acts
of terror around the world are being acutely felt at World Youth Day (I
remember going to Evening Prayer at the Taize Church in Cologne at WYD 2005,
the day the founder of the Taize Community, Br. Roger was killed: even though
we were wedged in, on the ground (no pews in a pre-Reformation church!), it
felt like the whole place would take off and soar into the air! We forget that
we are indeed living in an age of martyrs, and how they can heal us: consider
the witness of the niece of an Indian Bishop who was raped - "there are
some sufferings that Jesus would not have known"!
