It is my hope to resume the weekly installments as soon as possible. 

The Hartford Eastern Catholic High School (Archdiocese of Hartford, CT) published this 2-minute video in response to a senator's remark about "Where is God in all the tragedy in the world?" You can access the video here if the image below does not work: https://vimeo.com/148643920). 

On the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, I think that the message these young people offer can help us to form a response to the question that many people ask when evil - both natural evil and moral evil - happens: WHERE IS GOD?

Our FORMED Recommendation for the Week
Video: YDisciple Series - This Present Darkness (Spiritual Darkness): 
https://formed.org/study/551c1a08927f85200dda7c62/lesson/56cf81635ac9fff40def85cc?search_id=a25e0949-c5e4-4490-9083-116c65ae0be1
The Catechism teaches: “Finding himself in the midst of the battlefield man has to struggle to do what is right, and it is at great cost to himself, and aided by God's grace, that he succeeds in achieving his own inner integrity” (CCC 409). These two 7-minute videos discuss how to live without fear in this present darkness and how to contend with the forces of evil.
