Sometime yesterday, shortly after posting the prayer from St Francis below, the energy released from the shifting of two tectonic plates on the ocean's floor began to shake the foundation of the earth and cause wave upon wave to rise up and plow relentlessly into the coast of Japan.
Sublime beauty everywhere? In order that we should not be frightened?
Destruction, death and despair everywhere. Terror and fear everywhere.
My God my God, where are you in this God forsaken tragedy?
"On the cross" Francis whispers of Christ. "On the cross." Beckoning with his very being to touch your face and comfort the afflicted with God's own earth shaking wave of love.
